No, it is very unlikely that you will die. Long before your blood glucose gets dangerously low, your body will go into shock. The adrenalin increases glucagon levels, which causes the liver to supply the much needed glucose. By the time the ambulance arrived, my blood glucose had already increased to 4.8 (86). I would have been fine if they had left me alone, but the oxygen really got me back on my feet that much quicker. I don't smoke, and no, the doctor didn't know why the oxygen levels were so low. She thought the seizure or excessive tiredness could have had something to do with it. I have a copy of her notes, which I will take to the endo the next time I see him.
