==Overview==
Patients with [[Diabetes mellitus type 1|type 1 diabetes]] may suffer an average of two episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia per week, thousands of such episodes over a lifetime of [[Diabetes mellitus|diabetes]], and one episode of severe symptoms per year. Hypoglycemia is less frequent in [[Diabetes mellitus type 2|type 2 diabetes]] than it is in type1. Event rate for severe hypoglycemia range from 40 to 100 percent of those in [[Diabetes mellitus type 1|type 1 diabetes]]. There is no racial or gender predilection of hypoglycemia.

Overview

Patients with type 1 diabetes may suffer an average of two episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia per week, thousands of such episodes over a lifetime of diabetes, and one episode of severe symptoms per year. Hypoglycemia is less frequent in type 2 diabetes than it is in type1. Event rate for severe hypoglycemia range from 40 to 100 percent of those in type 1 diabetes. There is no racial or gender predilection of hypoglycemia.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence and prevalence

  • Worldwide, the incidence of severe hypoglycemia event was 4800 per 100.000 patient per year and of moderate events was 13100 per 100.000 patient per year.[1][2]
  • Rates of hypoglycemia were increased in children < 6 years of age.

Age

  • Hypoglycemia commonly affects patients with type 2 diabetes. So, the risk of severe hypoglycemia is low in the first few years (7%) and that risk increases to 25% later in the course of diabetes according to the UK Hypoglycemia Study.[8]

Gender

  • There is no gender predilection of hypoglycemia.

Race

  • There is no racial predilection of hypoglycemia.
