Merck & Co., Inc. Global Survey Results Reveal Need for Improved Hypoglycaemia Management for People with Type 2 Diabetes

LISBON, Portugal--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New multinational survey data released to coincide with the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 47th Annual Meeting has revealed a lack of communication between type 2 diabetes patients and physicians around hypoglycaemia. The survey, commissioned by MSD, assessed physicians and patients from 11 countries across Europe, Asia and Latin America. Almost one-third of patients surveyed (32%) said they do not regularly discuss hypoglycaemia with their physician, due in part to patients’ limited understanding about hypoglycaemia and lack of time, highlighting a need for improving patient and physician communication.
