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. |
There was a 22 yr old who died from DIB syndrome(Dead in bed) she lived about 7 miles away from me. She was my friends sister. This happened about 12 years ago. A well controlled diabetic went to bed with normal blood sugars and died. Death certificate was death due to hypogly.
