Severe Hypoglycemia as a Predictor of End-Stage Renal Disease in Type 2 Diabetes: A National Cohort Study

Abstract: Aims: This study investigated whether there is a link between severe hypoglycemia and progression into end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Tapping into Taiwan’s Health Insurance Research Database, we identified all type 2 diabetes patients between 1996 and 2013 and identified those diagnosed with a severe hypoglycemia episode during an emergency department visit and those who were not. Controls were then matched 1:1 for age, sex, index year, and medication. Results: We ide… Show more

“…Our results showed that TIR 3.9-10 mmol/L , TAR > 10 mmol/L , and TAR > 13.9 mmol/L are signi cantly associated with the severity of albuminuria, even after adjusting for possible risk factors including HbA1c levels. On the other hand, a recent study demonstrated that severe hypoglycemia is a predictor of worsening renal dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes [35]. However, in addition to LBGI, TBR < 3.9 mmol/L , and TBR < 3.0 mmol/L were not associated with the severity of albuminuria in our study.…”

Mild hypoglycemia, low frequency of hypoglycemic events, or both may not be involved in the development of albuminuria.…”
