Exploring the gap between sensor‐detected ( SDH ) and person‐reported hypoglycaemia ( person-reported hypoglycaemia (PRH) ): The voice of people living with diabetes
Authors' conclusion
These results demonstrate that SDH and PRH each capture different, yet equally important, dimensions of the hypoglycaemia experience. Relying on only one source of information inevitably provides an incomplete picture.
