The landmark study Diabetes Control and Complication Trial (DCCT) clearly showed that
intensive insulin management delays the onset and progression of longterm complications in
adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The same clinic trial also showed
increased rate of severe hypoglycemia which required assistance. The risks of severe
hypoglycemia, defined as loss of consciousness or seizure associated with hypoglycemia,
include lower HbA1C, younger age, higher insulin dose, male sex, lower parental
socioeconomic status, non-Hispanic white ethnicity, longer duration of disease, the presence
of psychiatric disorders, and underinsurance.
The purpose of this protocol is to explore the relationship between hypoglycemic seizures
and BMI.

This is a retrospective study using questionnaire/survey/interview. We will give subjects a
letter stating the purpose and describing the study. We will answer all questions they have
about the study. Once the parents and patient verbally agree to participate in the study, we
will proceed with the survey.
