Diabetes is a major public health problem that has been growing steadily in recent years. Its prevalence is very high in the elderly, in whom there is an increased risk of hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycaemia in elderly diabetics has serious consequences:
Elderly diabetic patients in institutions are particularly fragile and have more frequent cognitive problems than non-diabetic subjects. A study conducted in this population of patients showed that a third of them had HbA1C \<6.5%, which suggests a higher frequency of hypoglycemia though the figures were not available.
We therefore decided to conduct a study to assess the frequency of hypoglycemia in order to better understand the contributing factors and to improve the management of this fragile population.
