Hypoglycemia

Sambit Das gives the highlights of his ESICON presentation on the etiology and management of hypoglycemia-associated autonomic failure.

Diabetic ketoacidosis affects around one in 60 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes and is associated with “exceptionally high” perinatal mortality rates, shows research.

A high rate of nonsevere hypoglycemic episodes is associated with risk for severe hypoglycemia, major adverse cardiovascular events, and mortality in people with type 2 diabetes, shows an analysis of LEADER data.

Test your knowledge with two interactive activities authored by international diabetes experts:

1. Initial introduction of therapy, looking at the most appropriate and individualized treatment plans to avoid the risk of hypoglycemia.
2. Monitoring and follow-up, focusing on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data interpretation and treatment inertia.

Compare trial data from around the World as regional experts discuss the global burden of hypoglycemia.

Guided by diabetes specialists, choose and explore different treatment paths by introducing new insulins and technologies.
