Potential mechanisms for poor glycaemic control in patients with type two diabetes and fear of hypoglycaemia

ConclusionA significant finding of this study highlighted the considerable and direct effect of fear of hypoglycaemia on poor glycaemic control among patients with T2D. However, only fear-related anxiety and avoidance —and not confidence in the ability to control low glucose levels—had an effect on poor glycaemic control.
