6. Secondary Outcome
Title Incidence of Severe Hypoglycemia
Description Severe hypoglycemia occurs when all 3 of the following occur simultaneously: Subject requires the assistance of another person; Subject exhibits at least 1 cognitive neurological symptom (memory loss, confusion, uncontrollable behavior, irrational behavior, unusual difficulty in awakening, seizure, loss of consciousness); Measured BG is ≤ 49 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L), or, in the absence of a BG measurement, clinical symptoms are reversed by oral carbohydrates, sc glucagon or intravenous glucose administration; OR, Measured BG is ≤ 36 mg/dL (2.0 mmol/L) with or without symptoms.
