Summary

In his paper, the author deals with hypoglycemia-related problems as the most frequent complication of the therapy for diabetes mellitus (DM). He points to threats that patients with hypoglycemia are exposed to, but also gives attention to risk groups of patients with regard to hypoglycemia development as well as different levels of the risk related to different antidiabetics.

Key words:
antidiabetics – diabetes mellitus – hypoglycemia
