Does nocturnal hypoglycaemia really improve quality of life?

To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent article by Henriksen et al. [1], the aim of which was to ‘assess the effect of spontaneous nocturnal hypoglycaemia on quality of life and mood during subsequent days’ in adults with type 1 diabetes. The authors concluded that ‘individuals with type 1 diabetes and impaired hypoglycaemia awareness reported higher quality of life on days preceded by nights with asymptomatic (but not symptomatic) hypoglycaemia’ [1]. We think there may be other possible interpretations of the data, which indicate an urgent need for further research. [Opening paragraph

Structured type 1 diabetes education delivered within routine care: impact on glycaemic control and quality of life

OBJECTIVE To determine whether improvements in glycemic control and diabetes-specific quality of life (QoL) scores reported in research studies for the type 1 diabetes structured education program Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) are also found when the intervention is delivered within routine U.K. health care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Before and after evaluation of DAFNE to assess impact on glycemic control and QoL among 262 adults with type 1 diabetes. RESULTS There were significant improvements in HbA1c from baseline to 6 and 12 months (from 9.1 to 8.6 and 8.8%, respectively) in a subgroup with suboptimal control. QoL was significantly improved by 3 months and maintained at both follow-up points. CONCLUSIONS Longer-term improved glycemic control and QoL is achievable among adults with type 1 diabetes through delivery of structured education in routine care, albeit with smaller effect sizes than reported in trials
