New Tool To Identify Hypoglycemia Risk in Diabetics

A new practical tool has been developed, which aids in identifying diabetes patients who are at an increased risk for being admitted to an emergency department or hospital due to severe hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar), reveals a new study led by Kaiser Permanente. The risk of long-term complications and death were found to be reduced in more than 25 million Americans, who have diabetes with advances in care and improved treatment.
