Frequency and awareness of hypoglycemia in patients with Type 2 Diabetes treated with two or more insulin injections in primary care outpatient clinics.

Aims: To assess the frequency of hypoglycemia events, patient characteristics and the prevalence of impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) using two or more insulin injections in primary care.

Methods: Cross-sectional study performed at 9 Primary Care Centers including review of electronic medical records and an on-site visit to patients using >2 insulin injections with suboptimal control. Episodes of severe hypoglycemia (SH) in the last 12months were recorded.

Assessment of use of specific features of subcutaneous insulin infusion systems and their relationship to metabolic control in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Background And Objective: Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) have available several specific features of these devices. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between real use of them and the degree of glycemic control in patients using this therapy.

Patients And Methods: Forty-four T1DM patients on CSII therapy with or without real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) were included.
