This indicator shows the number and percent of people with diabetes who are admitted to hospital with hypoglycaemia as the primary diagnosis one or more times in the relevant year.
Understanding the factors contributing to variations in hypoglycaemia prevalence is essential for tailoring diabetes care, promoting patient education, and implementing proactive measures to prevent this potentially life-threatening condition.

Disaggregation
For single map analysis: By year (2018‒22), age group (0‒14 years, 15‒24 years, 25‒44 years, 45‒64 years, 65‒74 years and 75+ years), gender (female and male), ethnic group (Māori, Pacific peoples, Indian and European/other) and Health New Zealand district of domicile.
For PHO analysis: By year (2022), age group (0‒14 years, 15‒24 years, 25‒44 years, 45‒64 years, 65‒74 years and 75+ years), gender (female and male), ethnic group (Māori, Pacific peoples, Indian and European/other), PHO most recently enrolled with (for the relevant year), PHO group (small, medium, medium‒large and large).
- Data is not presented where the number of people in the numerator was less than 10. This is to preserve confidentiality.
- Ethnicity data presented is prioritised ethnic group (Māori, Pacific peoples, Indian and European/other).
- For all indicators, individuals with missing values for any of the variables of interest (age, gender, ethnicity and district) are excluded completely. For instance, if there are any missing values for age, they are excluded from all analyses. This approach ensures a consistent denominator throughout the analyses.
- For this indicator, demographic information is taken from the VDR.
Exclusions
- People who died during the year
- People not enrolled in a PHO
