Frequency of Hypoglycemia and Its Significance in Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract: Background and objectives: This study set out to determine the incidence of hypoglycemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with and without diabetes, and the association of hypoglycemia with mortality.Design, setting, participants, & measurements: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of 243,222 patients who had 2,040,206 glucose measurements and were cared for at the Veterans Health Administration. CKD was defined as an estimated GFR of <60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 . Hypoglycemia was set at <70 mg/… Show more

“…Furthermore, the pooled data show that renal function did not change after treatment with either Gla‐300 or Gla‐100 for 6 months. These findings suggest that the observed differences between the renal subgroups in the rate and incidence of hypoglycaemia were unlikely to be related to dose or dose increase, but are consistent with the higher risk for hypoglycaemia reported in CKD 11. In terms of safety, as expected, TEAE incidence was generally higher in the lower vs the higher eGFR subgroup, but there were no major differences in TEAEs between Gla‐300 and Gla‐100 within the two subgroups, nor between either renal function or treatment groups for injection site reactions, hypersensitivity, cardiovascular events or acute kidney injury.…”

“…The comparison with Gla‐100 is important, as this is the “gold standard” of treatment in many countries. The lower risk of hypoglycaemia with Gla‐300 than Gla‐100 is of particular interest as the risk of hypoglycaemia is increased in people with renal impairment,11 therefore, therapy options with lower risk of hypoglycaemia may be particularly beneficial in this population. Basal insulin therapy requires a balance between achieving appropriate individualized glycaemic targets and minimizing or avoiding hypoglycaemia.…”

“…Individuals with CKD, often characterized by low disease awareness, limited health literacy, and frequent interactions with the health care system (17,18), are at high risk of adverse safety events related to their care, such as drug-related problems. This opens potential to introduce tailored digital tools to this population as patient-initiated safeguards (7,(19)(20)(21)(22). Mobile technologies, such as cellular telephones, provide instant access to information that previously was not promptly available to patients.…”

“…Uraemia-induced reduction in calorie intake may also reduce insulin requirement. Hypoglycaemia appears to occur twice as frequently amongst patients with CKD as in those with normal renal function, 32 usually in the hours after dialysis in patients with ESRF. Hypoglycaemic unawareness is common in these patients.…”
