Associations of fear of hypoglycemia with prescription of second-line insulin secretagogues (IS) or insulin and subsequent glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes were analysed using data from the DISCOVER study-a large, prospective, observational study.
Patients with type 2 diabetes initiating a second-line treatment after a first-line oral therapy were enrolled. Fear of hypoglycemia was assessed using baseline Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS) worry score. Glycemic control was assessed using glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels at 6-month and 1-year follow-up, and HbA1c change from baseline was analysed. To examine the association of baseline HFS worry scores with second-line use of IS or insulin, a hierarchical logistic model with country as random effect was used.
A total of 6217 patients were analysed. The mean HFS worry score was 6.9 ± 11.4, while patients in the upper quartile had an HFS worry score ≥9. We divided patients into three groups according to their baseline HFS worry score (0, 1-8, ≥9). HFS worry score was associated with the use of first-line IS, but not the second-line treatment. Compared to treatments with no IS and insulin, a better HbA1c response to second-line IS or insulin was noted in patients with a baseline HFS worry score of 0 or 1-8, but not in patients with a baseline HFS worry score ≥9.
HFS worry score was associated with the use of first-line IS and glycemic response to second-line IS or insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes.

使用来自 DISCOVER 研究的数据,对 2 型糖尿病患者的低血糖恐惧与二线胰岛素促分泌剂(IS)或胰岛素的处方以及随后的血糖控制之间的关系进行了分析。这是一项大型前瞻性观察研究。
纳入了在一线口服治疗后开始二线治疗的 2 型糖尿病患者。使用基线低血糖恐惧调查(HFS)担忧评分评估对低血糖的恐惧。使用 6 个月和 1 年随访时的糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平评估血糖控制,并分析 HbA1c 从基线的变化。为了研究基线 HFS 担忧评分与 IS 或胰岛素的二线使用之间的关联,使用带有国家为随机效应的分层逻辑模型进行分析。
共分析了 6217 例患者。HFS 担忧评分的平均值为 6.9±11.4,而上四分位数的患者 HFS 担忧评分≥9。我们根据基线 HFS 担忧评分(0、1-8、≥9)将患者分为三组。HFS 担忧评分与一线 IS 的使用有关,但与二线治疗无关。与没有 IS 和胰岛素的治疗相比,HFS 担忧评分在 0 或 1-8 的患者中,二线 IS 或胰岛素的 HbA1c 反应更好,但在 HFS 担忧评分≥9 的患者中则不然。
HFS 担忧评分与一线 IS 的使用以及 2 型糖尿病患者二线 IS 或胰岛素的血糖反应有关。
