Hypoglycemia is the most common acute complication in insulin-treated type 1 diabetic patients. Most surveys have demonstrated that the tighter the glycemic control, and the younger the patient, the greater the frequency of both mild and severe hypoglycemia. However, people in poor metabolic control, with high glycosylated hemoglobin levels, are not protected from experiencing sever hypoglycemia. Focusing on the pediatric population, we review new or controversial issues surrounding the prevalence of hypoglycemia, its causes, its consequences and preventive strategies, and discuss possible mechanisms underlying the variability of responses to hypoglycemia.
