Introduction To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice on hypoglycaemia management among nurses and junior doctors in Sarawak hospitals. Methodology A cross sectional study was done at 6 hospitals in Sarawak with a questionnaire adapted from Journal of Diabetes Nursing. A total of 405 nurses and 119 doctors were selected through convenience sampling. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 17.0. Results Overall the mean percentage of knowledge, attitude and practice regarding hypoglycaemia is higher among doctors compared to nurses, however only knowledge and attitude have a significant difference (p<0.05). Conclusion This study confirms that although there is a difference in knowledge and attitude regarding hypoglycaemia management between nurses and doctors, there is room for further improvement for both. The need for education and training for both nurses and doctors is highlighted in this study. Integrated education sessions should be carried out on a regular basis to standardize management of hypoglycaemia for all healthcare workers to ensure that proper management can be given.
