Risk of death by blood glucose levels. Patients with blood glucose <70 mg/dL at presentation had a 4.7-fold increased risk of death compared to patients with a blood glucose =70 mg/dL.

4. Figure 3
Kaplan Meier survival curves comparing survival duration among low blood sugar and normal blood sugar patients who did not survive hospitalization. Median survival time for the low blood sugar group is 22 days while that of the normal blood sugar group is 120 days. (Log rank=42.10 on 1 degree of freedom, P=.0000).

5. Figure 4
Correlation between mortality and blood glucose level in low blood glucose patients. Blood glucose values ranged from 69 mg/dL to 19 mg/dL among our patients with low blood glucose. The figure compares the proportion that died by blood glucose level.
