Impaired Awareness and Symptomatology of Hypoglycemia in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Authors' conclusion
IAH continues to be associated with a significant reduction in detection of hypoglycemia symptoms, both when awake and asleep, in adults using CGM. Current diabetes technologies do not fully protect adults with T1D from hypoglycemia.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T1D using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), registrants of the T1D Exchange (US national T1D registry); 53% female, mean diabetes duration 26 years
- Participants
- 1,480 survey completers
- Exposure
- Impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) vs intact hypoglycemia awareness
- Outcome
- Hypoglycemia frequency, symptomatology and awareness (HypoA-Q)
