Patients with diabetes requiring emergency department care for hypoglycaemia: characteristics and long-term outcomes determined from multiple data sources
Dependence on a single data source would have at best identified only 65% of episodes. One-third of episodes were sulfonylurea related in patients with type 2 diabetes, and one-fourth of all patients with diabetes who required ED care for hypoglycaemia died the following year (BMJ Postgraduate Medical Journal)
Potential Overtreatment of Diabetes Mellitus in Older Adults With Tight Glycemic Control
Although the harms of intensive treatment likely exceed the benefits for older patients with complex/intermediate or very complex/poor health status, most of these adults reached tight glycemic targets between 2001 and 2010. Most of them were treated with insulin or sulfonylureas, which may lead to severe hypoglycemia. Our findings suggest that a substantial proportion of older adults with diabetes were potentially overtreated (JAMA Internal Medicine)
