Prevalence, Awareness and Correlates of Self-Reported Hypoglycemia Among Adults with Type 2 Diabetes in Northern Jordan: A Cross-Sectional Study

Self-reported hypoglycemia is highly prevalent among 326 adults with type 2 diabetes in northern Jordan, at 79.1% (258/326; 95% CI 74.4–83.2).

• Why it matters: The study addresses limited Jordan-specific evidence on how common hypoglycemia is, how well patients recognize it, and which clinical factors are linked to it.
• What they did: Adults with T2DM were surveyed in 2025–2026 at King Abdullah University Hospital and JUST PHC using structured interviews, with glucose-related definitions based on <70 mg/dL or symptom relief within six months. Multivariable logistic regression tested correlates.
• The result: Higher odds were linked to insulin use (aOR 3.27, 95% CI 1.75–6.10), sulfonylurea use (aOR 2.14, 1.18–3.87), diabetic nephropathy (aOR 3.76, 1.05–13.48), and primary care attendance (aOR 2.76, 1.42–5.36), while beta-blocker use was linked to lower odds (aOR 0.52, 0.28–0.95).
