Severe Hypoglycemic Events in Placebo-Controlled Trials of Pramlintide in Type 1 Diabetes

Events per Patient-YearaMean No. (SE)
TrialWeeks 0–4Weeks 0–29Weeks 26–52
qid = 4 times daily; SE = standard error; tid = 3 times daily.
aEvent rates were calculated as the total number of events for all patients on a treatment regimen divided by the total number of patient-years of observation.
bEvent rates were calculated after excluding 1 patient in the placebo group who reported >100 episodes of severe hypoglycemia.
