| As a point, has anyone here actually ever heard of anyone with diabetes dying from a hypo? Seriously, the only people I've ever known of dying from hypos were both on no-carb diets and bodybuilding. I'm not saying that having a nighttime hypo is all perfectly safe - just that in a normal individual it's very, very unlikely that a nighttime hypo will result in a fatality.
If this really were the case, then I have cheated death plenty of times, when I wake up the next morning with a bad head, high blood sugar and a memory of very vivid dreams. Nighttime hypos are frightening because they seem to cause a greater adrenaline rush, but they're not a massive problem in the grand scheme of things. |
