Guidelines updated for managing diabetes with high risk for hypoglycemia
The Endocrine Society released updated clinical practice guidelines that account for new technology and newer forms of insulin and glucagon in the management of diabetes-related hypoglycemia.
CGM use lowers hospitalizations, may reduce mortality in type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Use of continuous glucose monitoring was associated with improved glycemic control and a lower risk for hospitalization in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes attending Veterans Affairs clinics in the U.S., according to a speaker.
Household food insecurity associated with increased odds of DKA
Among young people with youth-onset type 2 diabetes, household food insecurity was linked to increased odds of diabetic ketoacidosis, but not glycemic control or severe hypoglycemia, according to results of a cross-sectional study.
Flash glucose monitoring reduces rate of acute diabetes events 2 years after initiation
The use of flash glucose monitoring is associated with a reduction in hospitalization for acute diabetes events, particularly diabetic ketoacidosis, for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, according to study data.
30% of adults with type 1 diabetes have high fear of hypoglycemia
BALTIMORE — About 30% of adults with type 1 diabetes participating in a novel screener survey had a high fear of hypoglycemia, and those with fear of hypoglycemia had higher HbA1c and more frequent severe hypoglycemic events.

CGM improves time in range, reduces HbA1c for older adults with type 1 diabetes
Older adults with type 1 diabetes initiating continuous glucose monitoring for the first time had a reduction in time spent in hypoglycemia, improved time in range and a lower HbA1c, according to findings from a randomized clinical trial.
Sleep deprivation may prevent counterregulatory adaptation to recurrent hypoglycemia
In a cohort of healthy young adult men, one night of sleep deprivation attenuated the adaptation to recurrent hypoglycemia by preserving neuroendocrine counterregulation and subjective awareness, according to study findings.
Worse diabetes severity increases risk for mortality after severe hypoglycemia
Diabetes Severity Score is the only factor significantly linked to greater mortality risk among older adults with type 2 diabetes experiencing severe hypoglycemia, according to study data published in Diabetes & Vascular Disease Research.
