A Western Australian study has found that rates of severe hypoglycaemia declined dramatically in the past decade.
The study out of the Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Princess Margaret Hospital in Perth, found that rates of severe hypoglycaemia in children with Type 1 diabetes declined two thirds between 2000 and 2009.
The study also showed that glycaemic control stayed the same in that time, with the link between glycaemia and risk of hypos growing weaker. There was also no longer an increased risk of severe hypoglycaemia in children under six years old.
The study authors said that the reduction “may have resulted from changes in clinical practice”, including recent developments in new insulin regimes and improved monitoring and management.
JDRF CEO Mike Wilson says “This study demonstrates real results of JDRF’s constant promotion of improved monitoring regimes, and reminds us how important good management is”.
