Dietary intake and risk of non-severe hypoglycemia in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To determine the association between dietary intake and risk of non-severe hypoglycemia in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Methods

Type 1 adolescents from a randomized trial wore a blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system at baseline for one week in free-living conditions. Dietary intake was calculated as the average from two 24-h dietary recalls. Non-severe hypoglycemia was defined as having blood glucose <70mg/dL for ≥10min but not requiring external assistance, categorized as daytime and nocturnal (11PM-7AM). Data were analyzed using logistic regression models.

Results

Among 98 participants with 14,277h of CGM data, 70 had daytime hypoglycemia, 66 had nocturnal hypoglycemia, 55 had both, and 17 had neither. Soluble fiber and protein intake were pos
