Abstract
GLO:EU1/01jan23:dom14841-fig-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): 1 Bar chart showing the prevalence of impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH), severe hypoglycaemia (SH) episodes and complete loss of awareness of hypoglycaemia before and after FreeStyle Libre (FSL) use. The Gold score was used to assess awareness of hypoglycaemia.[9] A score of 4 or higher indicates IAH and 7 indicates a complete loss of awareness.[9] Diabetes-related distress was measured using the two-item diabetes distress screening tool (DDS2).[10] An average of the two questions of the DDS2 scale was calculated. In this audit, people with diabetes were using FreeStyle Libre or FreeStyle Libre 2.
