NOCTURNAL HYPOGLYCEMIA IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS: THE ROLE OF CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING DEVICES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Nocturnal hypoglycemia is a severe complication that is often overlooked in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices play a crucial role in detecting and managing this form of hypoglycemia, thereby reducing the risk of serious complications. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of nocturnal hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using continuous glucose monitoring devices. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 41 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving treatment at Can Tho City General Hospital, utilizing continuous glucose monitoring systems. Results: Among the 41 participants, 19 patients (46.34%) experienced nocturnal hypoglycemia. Factors associated with nocturnal hypoglycemia included a low glucose management indicator (GMI) and high glycemic variability (CV). Conclusions: Continuous glucose monitoring identified a significant proportion of patients (46.34%) with nocturnal hypoglycemia, highlighting low GMI and high CV as key risk factors.
