  • P value=p value for difference in % time hypo (<3.5mmol/L) between subgroups, calculated via Χ2 test. Mean length is presented in minutes.

  • Mutation positive=any known CHI-causing mutation demonstrated.

  • Mutation negative=either CHI gene panel negative or not done.

  • Hypos=hypoglycemic episodes.

  • All values are provided as per ADA criteria unless otherwise specified.

  • ADA, American Diabetes Association; CHI, congenital hyperinsulinism.
