Abstract

Severe hypoglycaemia may have a role in aggravating micro- and macrovascular disease in diabetes. Data from the Diabetes Control and Complication Trial have been reanalysed to ascertain whether the frequency of severe hypoglycaemia exerted an influence on the development and progression of retinopathy or nephropathy in people with Type 1 diabetes.
