Dysglycemia among youth with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control in the Flexible Lifestyle Empowering Change trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the prevalence and correlates of non-severe hypoglycemia among adolescents with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control, an understudied topic in this group.

Methods

Seven days of blinded continuous glucose monitor data were analyzed in 233 adolescents at baseline of the Flexible Lifestyle Empowering Change trial (13-16 years, type 1 diabetes duration >1 year, and hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] 8-13% [64-119 mmol]). Incidence of clinical hypoglycemia (54-69 mg/dL) and clinically serious hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL) was defined as number of episodes ≥15 minutes. Logistic regression modeling was used to determine the correlates of long duration of hypoglycemia, categorized by median split among those who experienced hypoglycemia.

Results

The sample was
