“…Finally, weekly alcohol consumption in the Brazilian study ( 19 ) demonstrated an odds ratio of 5.64 to severe hypoglycemia, after final adjusted logistic regression analysis with SH, as the dependent variable. In the existing literature, the rates of alcohol consumption by type 1 diabetes younger adults range from 19.3% to 26% ( 23 ).…”
