Introduction: hypoglycemia is a common adverse effect of diabetes treatment and is considered the greatest limiting factor in achieving goals. Addressing hypoglycemic events is very important both in the office and in research. Objectives: Characterize the population in terms of age, sex, type of diabetes, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, treatment and prevalence of non severe hypoglycemia (level 1 and level 2) in the last month and severe (level 3) in the last three months. Evaluate factors associated with hypoglycemia. Evaluate patients actions as a result of non-severe and severe hypoglycemia, also the reported knowledge of hypoglycemia of their relatives, and the sources of diabetes education. Furthermore, evaluate fear as a result of hypoglycemia and its association with hypoglycemic events. Methods: Observational, multicenter, cross-sectional study, carried out between May and July 2020 in the Comahue Chapter of the SAD. Diabetes patients older than 18 years were randomly surveyed.
