The population of type 1 diabetes patients with cardiovascular disease is increasing and this study aims to explore the electrocardiographic changes that are associated with spontaneous hypoglycemia in this type of population. More precisely, this study will investigate if these modifications are of the same nature as those already observed in different populations (patients with type 2 diabetes) to see the pro-arrhythmogenic impact of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.
