dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to assess the knowledge and prevention practices toward hypoglycemia among diabetic patients using insulin injections at Hospital Pakar Universiti Sains Malaysia (HPUSM). Hypoglycemia, a frequent and potentially life-threatening complication of insulin therapy, remains inadequately understood by many patients. A cross-sectional design was used involving 185 respondents attending the outpatient clinics at Klinik Pakar Perubatan (KPP) and Klinik Rawatan Keluarga (KRK). Data were collected through a validated, self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and Pearson correlation in SPSS Version 28. The findings showed that 54.1% of participants had low knowledge levels, and 58.4% demonstrated low levels of prevention practices. There was a significant association between knowledge and preventive practices (p < 0.05), and sociodemographic factors such as age, education level, and household income were significantly associated with both outcomes. The study highlights a pressing need for structured diabetes education programs tailored to improve knowledge and promote effective self-care practices to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia among insulin-using diabetic patients.
