The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of fear of hypoglycemia, in association with severe hypoglycemia and social factors, in insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A questionnaire survey on hypoglycemia and patient-physician communication was carried out in 355 patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at 16 hospitals and clinics. A fear of hypoglycemia was reported by 27.7% of patients. A stepwise logistic regression analysis found that severe hypoglycemia during the past 1 year was a significant determinant of fear of hypoglycemia (odds ratio 2.16, 95% confidence interval 1.06-4.41; P = 0.034), and age (odds ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval 1.00-1.05, P = 0.038) and living alone (odds ratio 1.93, 95% confidence interval 1.00-3.73, P < 0.05) were significantly higher in patients with fear of hypoglycemia than in those without it.
Introduction: The MiniMed™ 780G system uses an advanced hybrid closed loop algorithm to improve outcomes in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The MiniMed™ 780G Glycemic Control and Quality of Life (EQOL) study aimed to provide routine clinical practice data on system effectiveness and associated patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in France.
Methods: Individuals aged ≥ 7 years with T1D were enrolled.
Purpose Of Review: This review aimed to summarize the evidence regarding the relationship between parental psychosocial (e.g., fear of hypoglycemia, stress and family conflict) and glycemic outcomes in children between the age of 1-10 years old.
Background: We explore the association between hypoglycaemia fear (FH) and glycaemia during and after exercise sessions in a large sample of physically active youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: We used data from the Type 1 Diabetes Exercise Initiative Paediatric (T1DEXIP) Study. Youth self-reported on FH using the Hypoglycaemia Fear Survey-Child (HFS-C).
Aging diabetic patients frequently experience hypoglycemia and its associated fear, leading to greater psychological distress and impacting their quality of life and family dynamics.
* The study analyzed 78 older adults with diabetes, discovering that low education, a long disease history, and frequent hypoglycemic episodes increased the fear of hypoglycemia (FOH), while family support and psychological well-being served as protective factors.
* The findings suggest that targeted hypoglycemia prevention education and strengthening family support can help reduce FOH and improve overall well-being in older adults with diabetes.
Objective: Hypoglycemia represents a serious acute complication in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). In order to more effectively identify and discriminate the occurrence of hypoglycemic events in patients with T1DM, this study aims to evaluate the impact of two distinct glucose monitoring systems-Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)-on the management of blood glucose levels and the emotional responses associated with hypoglycemic episodes in individuals with T1DM.
Method: In this study, a total of 113 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus were enrolled and allocated to two groups for the implementation of Glucose Monitoring Systems (GMS).
