“…Hypoglycemia can elicit dangerous cardiovascular complications including arrhythmias and is recognized as an important cause of death specially in the elderly population [47,48]. We propose that the rise in diabetes mortality seen in our study could be directly or indirectly linked to hypoglycemia, as reported previously by other investigators [45,46]. We performed other analysis aiming to relate the change in SDMR with social and economic inequities; these included the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz equation which are variables of economic inequality and development index.…”

“…Since diabetes mortality was strongly associated with age, the change in SDMR might have occurred in fragile elderly diabetics with renal and cardiovascular complications which predisposed to hypoglycemia [4]. In this regard, we recently reported severe hypoglycemia events, both in the emergency department as well as in elderly type 2 diabetics from the out-patient clinic [45,46]. Hypoglycemia can elicit dangerous cardiovascular complications including arrhythmias and is recognized as an important cause of death specially in the elderly population [47,48].…”

“…Debido a que la insulina es el agente reductor de la glucemia más potente, también se asocia con mayor riesgo a desarrollar hipoglucemias, aumento de peso y constituye un factor limitante para el cumplimiento de las metas glucémicas (46)(47). En pacientes ambulatorios, se ha estudiado la mejor manera para lograr la meta de glucemia y se debe considerar que en la práctica clínica usual se administran dosis mayores de insulina basal (sobre-basalización) y esto se vincula con el desarrollo de hipoglucemias nocturnas (46)(47)(48).…”

“…La hipoglucemia afecta la calidad de vida, se asocia a depresión, cambios cognitivos y riesgos cardiovasculares (46). En Costa Rica, la hipoglucemia es una complicación común y de importancia clínica asociada con morbilidad de significancia clínica (47)(48). Por estas razones, el médico debe conocer las manifestaciones de esta complicación vinculada con la insulina que en muchos casos es inadvertida y se debe establecer medidas para prevenirla.…”
