Diabetes progression and severe hypoglycemia: a nationwide cohort study of 2,475,605 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This large study followed 2,475,605 adults with type 2 diabetes. It found that people with more severe diabetes, including those with kidney disease, were more likely to have very low blood sugar. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause. It helps doctors know who is at higher risk.
