AB  - OBJECTIVES: Hypoglycaemia can negatively impact many aspects of type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM) management. The aim was to determine the impact of hypoglycaemia 
      and the fear for hypoglycemic episodes on HRQoL in T2DM patients in Spain, as 
      well as healthcare professionals' attitudes and knowledge of these issues. 
      PATIENTS AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional study, with consecutive 
      recruitment of T2DM patients in 661 healthcare centers, between September 2010 
      and May 2011. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were recorded. HRQoL 
      (ADDQoL questionnaire) and fear for hypoglycaemia (HFS-II) were evaluated. Two 
      groups were compared: with and without reported hypoglycaemia in the previous 6 
      months. Physicians responded 4 questions (visual analogue scales). RESULTS: 4.054 
      patients participated, of which 3,812 were selected [mean age (SD)=64 (11) years; 
      male=54%; 10 (7) years for diagnostic of T2DM]. Patients with hypoglycaemia (45%) 
      expressed higher fear for hypoglycemia [31.32 (15.71) vs. 18.85 (16.03); 
      p<0.0001] and the overall impact of T2DM on their HRQoL was more negative [-2.48 
      (1.61) vs. -1.64 (1.36); p<0.001]. Respondent physicians occasionally used HRQoL 
      questionnaires, knew about hypoglycaemia risk, explored fear for hypoglycaemia 
      and modified treatments accordingly. CONCLUSIONS: T2DM patients with 
      hypoglycaemia show an increase of fear for them, negatively affecting T2DM 
      patients HRQoL. However physicians know the risk of hypoglycaemia, they explore 
      the fear for hypoglycemic episodes occasionally.
