Understanding Hypoglycemia in the Real World.

In the real world, experiences related to feeling, worrying about, and treating hypoglycemia trend higher than what is noted in the standardized hypoglycemia classifications. Study findings have implications for teaching and supporting people with diabetes who experience hypoglycemia. Consuming less CHO to treat hypoglycemia could lead to fewer episodes of rebound hyperglycemia and less weight gain. Increased support for continuous glucose monitoring is warranted.
