Corrigendum
In connection with the article entitled ‘Assessment and management of hypoglycemia in children and adolescents with diabetes’ which appeared in (1), we wish to bring the following correction to your attention: On page 136, in the last paragraph under the subheading ‘Treatment’, the statement should read as ‘To increase the BG approximately 3–4 mmol/L (55–70 mg/dL) give glucose tablets/sugar lumps or a sweet drink (glucose/sucrose drinks, cola etc.), approximately 9 grams of glucose is needed for a 30 kg child and 15 grams for a 50 kg child.’ Instead of ‘To increase the BG approximately 3–4 mmol/L (55–70 mg/dL) give glucose tablets/sugar lumps or a sweet drink (glucose/sucrose drinks, cola etc.), approximately 10 grams of glucose is needed for a 30 kg child and 15 grams for a 30 kg child.’
The same error is also present on page 140, where the correct text should read: ‘This can be accomplished by giving glucose tablets/sugar lumps or a sweet drink (glucose/sucrose drinks, cola etc.), approximately 9 grams of glucose is needed for a 30 kg child and 15 grams for a 50 kg child (approximately 0.3g/kg).’
The correct author name in Reference 51 should be ‘van de Weil’, instead of ‘Van de Wa’.
Due to amendments made to the reference list, the following statements are amended accordingly as well.
On page 139, in the paragraph under the heading ‘Insulin’, the references in the first sentence should be (74, 75) instead of (70, 72, 106, 64, 66, 108).
On page 140, in the final sentence of the paragraph under the heading ‘Insulin’, there should be no references cited.
On page 140, in the paragraph under the heading ‘Food’, the references should be (106, 107) instead of (103, 107).
On page 140, in the paragraph under the heading ‘Exercise’, the last 2 statements should read ‘A carbohydrate snack of l5–30 g prior to exercise in well-controlled teenagers has been shown to decrease exercise related hypoglycemia, as has suspension of pump basal rate during exercise, but if exercise occurs at the peak action of insulin, or is prolonged, additional carbohydrates may be required (59, 61) (E). Additional recommendations for carbohydrate intake during exercise are given in the ISPAD Exercise Guidelines (60).’ instead of ‘A carbohydrate snack of l5–30 g prior to exercise in well-controlled teenagers has been shown to decrease exercise related hypoglycemia, as has suspension of pump basal rate during exercise, but if exercise occurs at the peak action of insulin, or is prolonged, additional carbohydrates may be required (59, 61, 62) (E). Additional recommendations for carbohydrate intake during exercise are given in a review by Riddell (4) and the ISPAD Exercise Guidelines.’
On page 140, in the paragraph under the heading ‘BG goals’, the references in the second statement should be (28, 107) instead of (28, 108).
On page 140, in the paragraph under the heading ‘BG monitoring’, the references in the second statement should be (105, 108) instead of (68, 109, 111). There should be no reference cited in the third statement. The reference in the last statement should be (109) instead of (112).
The references were incorrect starting from Reference 93. Please find the updated reference list, starting from Reference 93, below.
The authors wish to apologise for any misunderstanding or inconvenience caused.
