Previously unrecognized risk factors for severe hypoglycaemia requiring emergency medical care in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes: Results from a real-world nested case-control study.

Although all people with insulin-treated diabetes are at risk of SH, these results have identified some previously unrecognized risk factors and sub-groups of insulin-treated adults with T2DM at greater risk. Scrutiny of current therapies and comorbidities are advised as well as additional glucose monitoring and education, when identifying and managing SH in vulnerable populations.
