Fig. 1 a) Adjusted odds ratio for hypoglycemia. b) Changes in blood glucose with time-varying exposures. *Denotes adjusted dose, reported as its equivalent in oral methadone. Reference category is days with no methadone or other opioid exposure.

Supplementary Data Primary analysis repeated after restriction to population of patients with no missing data. Panel 1 is odds ratio for hypoglycemia; panel 2 is change in lowest recorded serum glucose in mg/dL.*Denotes adjusted dose, reported as its equivalent in oral methadone.
