Implication

Substantial intra-individual variability in hypoglycemic symptom reports may complicate recognition; hypothesis-generating for sex-specific education strategies.

Structured PICO

Population

59 subjects with diabetes (median age 57.5 years [range, 22-74 years], 65% male, 77% type 1 diabetes) who had experienced 19 or more hypoglycemic episodes

Intervention

Recording of symptoms with every episode of hypoglycemia over a 9-12-month period

Outcome

Consistency of each individual's symptom complex and factors affecting these differences (age, sex, type and duration of diabetes, C-peptide, and serum ACE concentration)patient reported

A novel stochastic model reveals much greater intra-individual variability in hypoglycemic symptom reporting than previously recognized, which is relevant for patient education.
