The prescription rates of glucagon for hypoglycemia by pediatricians and physicians are low in Japan
2018
Purpose
Hypoglycemia is a common and life-threatening complication in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. Current guidelines recommend glucagon for treating hypoglycemia in out-of-hospital settings; however, glucagon is reportedly underused in such patients. We conducted a doctor-oriented, questionnaire-based survey of pediatricians and physicians to determine the glucagon prescription rate and identify the reason(s) for its underuse in T1DM patients.
