A real-life comparison of hypoglycaemia symptomatology between insulin-treated type 2 diabetes participants with and without impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia.

Aims: We aim to compare and correlate Gold and Clarke questionnaire scores with hypoglycaemic symptomatic responses between insulin-treated type 2 diabetes participants with and without IAH in a real-life study.

Methods: Insulin-treated type 2 diabetes participants attending an outpatient diabetes clinic in Singapore were asked to complete the Gold and Clarke questionnaires, record capillary blood glucose (CBG) and hypoglycaemic symptoms for 4 weeks.

Results: Data were collected from 153 participants (M:F = 98:55) with mean age 61.

Comparing the pooled cohort equations and coronary artery calcium scores in a symptomatic mixed Asian cohort.

Background: The value of pooled cohort equations (PCE) as a predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is poorly established among symptomatic patients. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) assessment further improves risk prediction, but non-Western studies are lacking. This study aims to compare PCE and CAC scores within a symptomatic mixed Asian cohort, and to evaluate the incremental value of CAC in predicting MACE, as well as in subgroups based on statin use.

A Cross-Sectional study on risk factors for severe hypoglycemia among Insulin-Treated elderly type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients in Singapore.

Objective: This study investigates the risk factors for severe hypoglycemia among Southeast Asian T2DM patients.

Methods: Insulin-treated T2DM patients greater than 65 years old with HbA1c < 8% were recruited. They completed questionnaires detailing their experience of hypoglycemia and presence of impaired hypoglycemia awareness (IAH).

Epidemiologic Characteristics of Multimorbidity and Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Multimorbidity in a Rapidly Aging Asian Country.

Objectives: To determine the association between multimorbidity and sociodemographic factors (age, socioeconomic status [SES], sex, and race/ethnicity) and the association between mental health diseases and physical diseases, as well as their implications for the types and costs of health care use.
