title: [Hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic patients].
abstract: The study analyzed the occurrence of hypoglycemia and metabolic control of two monitoring schemes in type-1 diabetic patients during 12 months they participated in education groups. Clinical crossed trials were conducted with 21 patients divided into two groups included the monitoring scheme proposed. Glycemic individuals' profiles directed monthly adjustments of insulin doses. The analyses were performed using Fisher, t-Student and Friedman's tests. There were no significant differences in hypoglycemia between the groups in any given month or scheme (p > 0.05). The comparisons within groups between insulin mean dose and HbA1c, and hypoglycemic episodes also did not show significant difference (p > 0.05). Metabolic control improved during the study in both groups, independently from the monitoring scheme (p < 0.05).
