Diabetes Hypo During Sleep
A survey from Diabetes UK has found that half of Type 2 diabetics suffer at least one episode of hypoglycemia every two weeks. The survey--which did not include patients taking insulin--found that many diabetics experienced low blood glucose in a way that had an impact on their daily activities. Most reported that their social, work life, and household chores suffered the most. Experts say the study points out that even mind 'hypo' periods can impact a patient's quality of life.
