Self reported hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus taking oral anti-diabetics

ConclusionsLower prevalence of hypoglycemia in our study compared to other similar studies could be because of non-inclusion of patients on insulin in our study. High prevalence of multiple episodes justify the fact that hypoglycemia begets hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia progressively increased as socioeconomic status changed from higher to lower, possibly due to non-availability of glucometer and lack of information. U-shaped correlation of hypoglycemic events was found with HbA1c levels.
