Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim is a specific and contestable, yet well-supported, empirical assertion regarding the frequency of hypoglycemia, primarily in clinical populations. Multiple retrieved papers explicitly discuss hypoglycemia as a frequent complication or report high prevalence figures (e.g., 25% pooled prevalence in diabetic cohorts, frequent occurrence in hospitalized or insulin-treated patients). Therefore, the evidence strongly supports the claim.
