Abstract

We read with great interest the review article by Dr Pilla et al. In this qualitative study, the authors analyzed 83 audio-recorded primary care visits from one urban health practice in the USA to determine the frequency and content of hypoglycemia communication in primary care visits.

The authors concluded that in this high hypoglycemia risk population, communication about interval hypoglycemia and counselling for hypoglycemia prevention occurred in a minority of visits. The authors presented excellent insight into general practice counselling related to hypoglycemia, and we do not have any criticism of the study
