Abstract

There may be a substantial burden of unrecognized CGM-detected hypoglycemia in very old adults with type 2 diabetes using high-risk medications in the general population. Hypoglycemia may also be present among persons not on high-risk medication, but the burden is much lower. Further research is needed to clarify the clinical significance of these hypoglycemic episodes.
