Hypoglycaemia represents a substantial burden for people with type 2 diabetes. Sulphonylureas and insulin are both associated with a risk of reported non-severe hypoglycaemia, but only insulin with severe episodes. This suggests the importance of the continued use of sulphonylureas in appropriate patients with type 2 diabetes.
