title: Hypoglycaemia and QT interval prolongation: Detection by simultaneous Holter and continuous glucose monitoring.
abstract: This study using simultaneous Holter and continuous glucose monitoring demonstrates that prolongation of QT interval can occur with hypoglycaemia in an ambulatory setting in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes treated with insulin. This highlights the potential proarrhythmic harms associated with hypoglycaemia.
