Hypoglycemic events in patients aged <65 and ≥65 years
| Age (years) | Type of hypoglycemia | Exposure time | All | Severe | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| % | R | % | R | |||
| <65 | Daytime (n = 1531) | Baseline | 17.2 | 6.20 | 2.2 | 0.57 |
| Week 26 | 11.0 | 3.32a | 0.3 | 0.05a | ||
| ≥65 | Daytime (n = 736) | Baseline | 19.4 | 6.17 | 1.9 | 0.35 |
| Week 26 | 12.5 | 4.04a | 0.5 | 0.14 (NS) | ||
| <65 | Nocturnal (n = 1531) | Baseline | 7.1 | 2.25 | 1.5 | 0.27 |
| Week 26 | 4.4 | 1.25a | 0.3 | 0.07a | ||
| ≥65 | Nocturnal (n = 736) | Baseline | 6.5 | 1.92 | 1.0 | 0.24 |

There were no significant differences in changes of hypoglycemia rate when comparisons between age groups were performed
Significance was based on a generalized linear model with a Poisson distribution and a logarithmic link function
% represents the proportion of patients reporting at least one hypoglycemic event, where % = n/N × 100 and n is the number of patients reporting at least one hypoglycemic event
n number of patients who have data on both visits, NS not significant
aStatistically significant difference in rate from baseline, for patients within the indicated age group
