Komorita Y, Iwase M, Fujii H, et al. - Researchers separately examined the impacts of severe hypoglycaemia and poor glycaemic control on fracture risk in 4,706 Japanese candidates (mean age 66 years) with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Study participants were followed prospectively and were stratified by severe hypoglycaemia status and glycaemic control. In 662 candidates (249 men and 413 women), fractures took place. Investigators found that severe hypoglycaemia and poor glycaemic control [HbA_1c ≥ 75 mmol/mol (≥ 9%)] were significantly associated with increased risk of fracture in people with T2D, though severe hypoglycaemia resulted in increased risk.
