Introduction
The name of this qualitative study article is Non-severe nocturnal hypoglycemic events:
experience and impacts on patient functioning and well-being. This research is beneficial for the
nurses and the healthcare system because there are many people who suffer from the low blood
sugar when they are sleeping but they do not require the medical assistance of any other
individual. However, this study shows that how this physiological event impacts the wellbeing
and functioning of the patient (Brod et al., 2013). This will give ideas to the nursing
professionals on how to make care plans for these patients so improve their daily activities. This
paper will critique this research article through certain parameters and it will utilize the CASP
tool used for a qualitative study.
Background
The topic that is focused in this study is the impact of hypoglycaemia during sleep, which
is an effect of anti-diabetic medicines. It is known as non-severe nocturnal hypoglycaemic events
(NSNHEs), which is a complication of diabetes mellitus. The problem that is identified by the
author is that the impact of nocturnal hypoglycaemia is underreported by the healthcare
practitioners, which dilutes the issue and leads to inefficient nursing interventions. The event of
hypoglycaemia occur during sleep but the individual does not require immediate intervention and
they can take measures after waking up. However, they do require social support because it can
affect their daily activities. The research in this topic is limited because the literature review
shows that the study is conducted on severe hypoglycaemia during sleep or laboratory induced
NSNHEs, which indicates that the result of this research cannot be generalized to the daily
activities of the diabetic patients. The gap in the literature review is that there is no specific data

about the experience of patients and the impact of NSNHE on their health and everyday life.
There is limited research about the evaluation of the impact of NSNHE such as sleep quality,
diabetes management, wellbeing, quality of life and daily functioning of adults with diabetes.
Aim
The aim is to understand the consequences of nocturnal hypoglycaemic events in diabetic
patients. This topic has to be researched because it is a common complication found in diabetic
patients and it impacts their wellbeing and daily functioning. The aim is clearly stated in the
article, which makes it easier to understand the focus of the paper. There was a clear statement
about the aim and research (Nadelson & Nadelson, 2014).
Methodology
The study design used for this research is qualitative research method that has semi
structured focus groups. The philosophical underpinnings of this method shows that mathematics
is based on the experience of an individual and their relation with phenomena. The qualitative
research is also known as Phenomenography. The use of this study design is essential because it
gives the personal experiences of the participants, which is more valuable than any statistical
data. It also encourages the participants to explore their mathematical experience, so that it can
be analysed for a research study, and the appropriate interpretation can be finalized (Jackson,
2013) The qualitative methodology is appropriate because it will give the participant’s
experiences that they feel during nocturnal hypoglycaemia. It is more informative.
Methods
The study was conducted through the interviews of focused groups in 4 countries and that
included Germany, UK, USA and France. This method was suitable to understand the
