Mann EA, et al. - In this investigation, researchers determined the incidence and timing of hypoglycemia at a week-long residential diabetes camp for children. They projected that hypoglycemia would occur more frequently during the first two days of camp and following evening all-camp games. For this analysis, 225 children had blood glucose levels measured pre-meal, at bedtime, and as needed to detect hypoglycemia levels. Over the first two nights, nocturnal hypoglycemia occurred more frequently, establishing this period as high risk and supporting the implementation of a standard protocol for lower doses of insulin. All-camp games did not affect the rates of hypoglycemia, indicating that current practices are effective in minimizing hypoglycemia.
