Prevalence and risk factors for impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia: A registry-based study of 10,202 adults with type 1 diabetes in Norway.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) and examine risk factors for IAH in adults with type 1 diabetes.

Methods

We conducted a population-based registry study of 10,202 adults (≥18 years) with type 1 diabetes using data from the Norwegian Diabetes Register for Adults. The registry used the 1-item Gold scale, measuring hypoglycaemia symptom awareness. We calculated the overall prevalence of IAH (Gold score ≥4) (95% CI) and prevalence for subgroups based on demographic and clinical variables. We estimated IAH prevalence based on continuous scales of age, diabetes duration and HbA_1c using predicted probabilities from generalised additive logistic regression models. Finally, we quantified the associations
