Aim: To examine how hypoglycemia while asleep impacts self-reported daily functioning among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) . Methods: On 70 consecutive mornings, 250 people with T1D wearing a continuous glucose monitor reported sleep quality, mood, and alertness via the Hypo-METRICS smartphone app. Each night was categorized based on presence (+) or absence (-) of person-reported hypoglycemia (PRH) and sensor-detected hypoglycemia (SDH) into one of four types (see Figure 1, Type A-D) . Multilevel regression assessed associations between hypoglycemia and daily functioning (unstandardized coefficients (β) on original 0-scale) , adjusted for baseline demographic, clinical and psychological factors. Results: In the first 54 adults (52% women, age[M±SD]: 45±15 years) , nighttime PRH (Type C & D, Figure 1) was associated with reduced subjective sleep quality (C: β=-0.67; D: β=-0.58) , mood (C: β=-0.43; D: β=-0.58) and alertness (C: β=-0.34, p=0.015; D: β=-0.46) (all p<0.0unless specified) compared to nights without hypoglycemia (Type A) . Nights with SDH only (Type B) showed no significant reductions in sleep, mood or alertness (p>0.05) . Conclusion: These novel data show the potentially pivotal role of the subjective experience of hypoglycemia for sleep quality, mood and alertness.

Acute hypoglycemia impacts negatively on cognitive function. However, it remains unclear which specific domains of cognitive function are affected, and the extent to which level of hypoglycemia modifies this relationship. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the impact of controlled hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycemia on cognitive function in adults with type 1 diabetes, following PRISMA guidelines. Experimental studies comparing cognitive function task performance during euglycemia and hypoglycemia were eligible for inclusion. Preliminary analyses were conducted on 38 studies, involving 54 cognitive task outcomes across three domains of cognitive function of varying complexity: attention/information processing speed (simplest) , working memory, and complex reasoning (most complex) . Three-level meta-analyses of the standardized mean differences (SMD) in performance during euglycemia and hypoglycemia, moderated by hypoglycemia level (Mdn=2.51; range=1.98-3.5 mmol/l) were conducted for each domain, with study and task as random effects to allow inclusion of multiple effect sizes per study. Hypoglycemia significantly impaired performance on all domains, with large effect sizes for attention/information processing speed (SMD=-1.17, 95% CI:-1.60 to -0.74) and working memory (SMD=-0.84, CI:-1.to -0.63) , and a medium effect size for complex reasoning (SMD=-0.61, CI:-0.99 to -0.23) . The degree of hypoglycemia significantly moderated this relationship for working memory only, such that for every 1mmol/l decrease in glucose level, performance was reduced by SMD=0.84 (CI:0.2 to 1.49) . These findings suggest that the impact of hypoglycemia on cognitive function is related to the cognitive domain complexity, with more impaired performance on simpler relative to more complex tasks. Further, degree of hypoglycemia may be differentially related to performance depending on the domain of cognitive function. Disclosure M.M.Broadley: None. C.Hendrieckx: None.

Background: Hypoglycemia and its impact on people with diabetes is typically reported retrospectively and is subject to recall bias. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) uses repeated sampling to collect real time, granular data about patient experiences, typically over 3-5 days. We developed the Hypo-METRICS app to determine the physical, psychological, and economic impact in people with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) over weeks using EMA. We tested user acceptability of the Hypo-METRICS app. Methods: We recruited 323 adults (T1D=186, T2D=137, 55% men, mean age 54±16 years, diabetes duration 22±13 years) using insulin with ≥1 episode of hypoglycemia in the last month. Participants were prompted to complete three daily EMA and two weekly questionnaires (the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire and PROMIS Sleep Disturbance scale) for weeks. EMA included 29 items over morning, afternoon and evening time points. EMA questions spanned seven categories including experience of hypoglycemia, sleep, and daily functioning. Participants recorded hypoglycemia episodes using a symptom tracker in real time. Results: The overall mean completion rate was 89±10% (T1D=87±11%, T2D=91±8%) , with 86,487 completed items. EMAs had a completion rate of 88±11% (T1D=87±11% T2D=90±9%) . Weekly questionnaires had a completion rate of 92±11% (T1D=91±12 T2D=95±8) . A total of 5,585 episodes of participant-reported hypoglycemia (T1D=4,118, T2D=1,467) were recorded in real time with a mean of 1.7±1.4 episodes reported per participant/week (T1D=2.2±1.4 T2D=1.1±1.0) . Conclusion: The Hypo-METRICS app is an acceptable tool to collect prospective detailed data on the frequency of hypoglycemia episodes and their impact on daily functioning over a prolonged period.
