Hypoglycaemia and cardiovascular disease in Type 1 Diabetes. Results from the Catalan National Public Health registry on insulin pump therapy.
Severe hypoglycaemia has recently been associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetes. The retrospective analysis of a national registry on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion points to a higher prevalence of CVD in Type 1 diabetic subjects with repeated severe hypoglycaemia at the time of starting CSII.
