For patients with diabetes who are hospitalized, hypoglycemia or near-normal glucose values during the last 24 hours of hospitalization can lead to higher rates of 30-day readmission and mortality.
The MyGlucoHealth blood glucose meter did not meet regulatory standards and may overestimate values in the hypoglycemic range.
A wearable device that measures real-time heart rate variability can detect early signs of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Blood sugar levels of older adults with type 1 diabetes are in the hypoglycemic range for more than an hour a day, and blood sugar levels of those with impaired hypoglycemia awareness may be in hypoglycemic range even longer.
Professional and personal continuous glucose monitoring systems exhibit similar accuracy in both inpatient and home settings, with both having lower sensor performance during hypoglycemic episodes.
About 17 percent of patients with diabetes report experiencing hypoglycemia when fasting for lab tests.
“This is the first report of decreased insulin requirements in a patient with [T1D] correlating with micafungin administration,” noted the authors.
The NDA included findings from multiple Phase 3 trials evaluating the safety, efficacy, and utility of the Xeris glucagon rescue pen auto-injector to treat severe hypoglycemia vs currently available glucagon emergency kits in children, adolescents, and adults with type 1 diabetes.
Lorcaserin facilitates sustained weight loss without increasing the rate of major cardiovascular events among overweight or obese patients.
Mini-dose glucagon was as effective as glucose tablets for preventing hypoglycemia and may result in less post intervention hyperglycemia.
