Comparison of clinical characteristics in patients who became hypoglycaemic and those who did not
| Hypoglycaemia (n = 20) | No hypoglycaemia (n = 9) | p Value | Mann-Whitney U value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age at study (years) | 8.7 (5.3 to 12.9) | 9.8 (8.5 to 12.2) | 0.17 | 61.0 |
| Age at diagnosis (years) | 4.5 (0.4 to 10.7) | 7.5 (1.4 to 8.8) | 0.13 | 57.5 |
| Duration of diabetes (years) | 3.9 (1.1 to 10.2) | 2.4 (1.0 to 8.6) | 0.37 | 70.0 |
| Insulin dose (U/kg/day) | 0.8 (0.5 to 1.1) | 0.6 (0.4 to 0.8) | 0.006 | 33.0 |
| HbA1c (%) | 8.7 (6.9 to 10.3) | 9.8 (8.3 to 11.0) | 0.14 | 58.5 |
| BMI standard deviation score | 0.34 (−1.14 to 1.89) | 0.34 (−0.88 to 1.8) | 0.76 | 83.5 |
| C-peptide status (number positive)3-150 | 4 | 4 | 0.09 | – |
Values are median (range).
↵3-150 C-peptide positive if value > 46.3 pmol/l.
BMI, body mass index; HbAlc, glycosylated haemoglobin.
