Overview
- Patients with type 1 diabetes may suffer an average of two episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia per week, thousands of such episodes over a lifetime of diabetes, and one episode of severe symptoms per year. Hypoglycemia is less frequent in type 2 diabetes than it is in type1.[2] Event rate for severe hypoglycemia range from 40 to 100 percent of those in type 1 diabetes.[4]
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Patients with type 1 diabetes may suffer an average of two episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia per week, thousands of such episodes over a lifetime of diabetes, and one episode of severe symptoms per year.
- Severe hypoglycemia events have been reported to range from 62 to 320 episodes per 100 patient years in type 1 diabetes.[1]
- Hypoglycemia is less frequent in type 2 diabetes than it is in type1.[2]
- Event rate for severe in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes is approximately 30 percent of that in type 1.[3]
- Event rate for severe hypoglycemia range from 40 to 100 percent of those in type 1 diabetes.[4]
- Frequency of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetesis the same as that in type 1 diabetes as insulin deficiency occurs at the end in DM type 2 and require aggressive treatment with insulin.[5]
- Hypoglycemia is uncommon in individuals who do not have drug-treated diabetes mellitus.[6]
