Abstract

Background: Factors related to severe hypoglycemia in elderly people with type 2 diabetes were researched by using a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in order to better control blood sugar and limit hypoglycemic attacks without any symptoms  in hematology. Objective: A survey of factors related to severe hypoglycemia in elderly people with type 2 diabetes hospitalized at District 2 Hospital in 2016-2018 was conducted. Materials and methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective research on 82 elderly inpatients with type 2 diabetes at District 2 Hospital were conducted. Results: In our study, It was noted that of 45 patients with hypoglycemia, 28 patients had mild hypoglycemia (62.2%), 17 patients had severe hypoglycemia (33.3%). Factors related to severe hypoglycemia in elderly people with type 2  diabetes includes rapid-acting insulin injection (58.8%), skipping dinner (15.6%), skipping dinner (15.6%), and gradually increasing medication (82,4%). Conclusion: Factors related to patients with hypoglycemia include rapid-acting insulin injection (58.8%), skipping dinner (15.6%), skipping dinner (15.6%), and gradually increasing medication. (82.4%) (P<0.001). Factors not related to severe hypoglycemia include age, gender, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, infection, total daily insulin requirements, kidney failure, liver failure.
