Hypoglycemia: a review of definitions used in clinical trials evaluating antihyperglycemic drugs for diabetes

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To understand the severity and potential impact of heterogeneity in definitions of hypoglycemia used in diabetes research, we aimed to review the hypoglycemia definitions adopted in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS: We reviewed 109 RCTs included in the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health reports for the second- and third-line therapy for the patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
