The incidence of hypoglycemia was determined in 138 type-2 diabetics treated with insulin (40%) or sulfonylureas (60%). Within one year, ten patients (7%) experienced one severe hypoglycemic episode characterized by a loss of consciousness and the necessity of parenteral glucose administration. Insulin treatment and advanced age increased the risk of hypoglycemia. The knowledge about hypoglycemia was poor. Only 45% of the patients could give a correct definition, 18% knew more than two symptoms, and 15% knew at least one cause of hypoglycemia. 66% would treat hypoglycemia with oral carbohydrates. The risk of hypoglycemia should be considered in the planning of adopted teaching and treatment programs for patients with type-2 diabetes.
