Abstract
The aim of diabetes treatment is normalization of blood sugar. This effort may be associated with hypoglycemia, which occurs in all types of diabetes and is more common with insulin therapy.
The severity and frequency of hypoglycemia depends on the patient's age, the disease duration, presence of complications and the chosen therapy. Prevention of hypoglycemia requires the respect of these factors and individual approach, including the chosen therapy of diabetes.
Incretin therapy does not increase the number of hypoglycemia and is the hope of the future.
