Predictors of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia and severe hypoglycaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) and severe hypoglycaemia (SH) in adults with type 1 diabetes and identify risk factors for both conditions in a contemporary cohort.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 782 adults with type 1 diabetes. Participants completed a questionnaire including validated hypoglycaemia awareness and mental health tools. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data were collected in 402 participants. SH was identified based on self-reported episodes.

Results

89% were CGM users and 27% were using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). 5.3% of participants reported a recent episode of SH and 21% had IAH based on the Gold score. Elevated Gold Score was independently associa
