A single‐site feasibility randomised controlled trial comparing ‘my hypo compass’ short pyscho‐educational intervention with standard care alone in individuals with type 1 diabetes and impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia
Authors' conclusion
Feasibility of MHC implementation without additional intervention has been demonstrated. MHC education was associated with positive changes in attitudes and behaviours with the potential to reduce SH risk. MHC provides a validated, simple, well-received programme to fulfil the educational component within RCTs targeting problematic hypoglycaemia and as part of holistic clinical care.
