Predicting factors of hypoglycaemia in elderly type 2 diabetes patients: Contributions of the GERODIAB study

L Bordier et al. Diabetes Metab. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

The burden of hypoglycaemia is important, particularly in elderly type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Unfortunately, however, few studies are available concerning this population. GERODIAB is a prospective, multicentre, observational study that aims to describe the 5-year morbidity and mortality of 987 T2D patients aged 70 years and older. After analyzing the frequency of and factors associated with hypoglycaemia in the 6 months prior to study inclusion, it was found that hypoglycaemia was associated with retinopathy, lower levels of LDL cholesterol and altered mini-Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) scores.

Keywords: Ageing; GERODIAB; Geriatric scales; Hypoglycaemia; Type 2 diabetes.
