[QUOTE="Jasmin2000, post: 2687029, member: 582816"] Just some info for reference after reading the HU threads here. I found 4 different methods for determining HU - some are shockingly simple! The [URL='https://www.britishjournalofcommunitynursing.com/content/long-term-conditions/nursing-interventions-for-people-with-type-1-diabetes-and-frequent-hypoglycaemia/']Gold scoring method[/URL] is based on the response to a single question, “Do you know when your hypos are commencing?” with responses expressed on a scale. Similarly, the [URL='https://content.ugeskriftet.dk/sites/default/files/scientific_article_files/2022-08/a01220041_web.pdf']Pedersen Bjergaard method[/URL] uses the question,“Can you feel when your blood sugar is low?” and assigns responses to three categories. The [URL='https://www.inanutshell.ch/en/digital-doctors-bag/clarke-score/']Clarke questionnaire[/URL] is composed of 8 questions that examine the glycemic threshold at which subjects develop symptoms of hypoglycemia. The [URL='https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26042777/']HypoA-Q questionnaire[/URL] has 18 questions with weighted answers. All are subjective, i.e. patient responses only - no physio data. Now we have the Libre's hypo scores and these are already being used to 'infer' hypo unawareness, although the connection is speculative at best. My DSN said likely hypo unresponsive based on Libre and I scored 'normal' on all four methods. Hmm.. :confused: [/QUOTE]
