Actually, 79 is NOT hypo, technically or otherwise. Under 70 is low...69 is technically low but probably not low enough to cause a seizure.

Then, they're probably not related to your blood sugar. If they were, what kept you from having ones at 33? Also, if you were having the seizures before being diabetic, again, pointing to not being related.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your background - have you been diabetic long? If not, your pancreas may still be working sometimes, which will cause this to happen. Otherwise, yes, I agree.

Ok...you say you can have *genuine* lows of 33 & not have a seizure & have seizures when your numbers are higher...you can't accept your doctor not having explanations for you seizures...but you can accept having high blood sugars, even though that doesn't eliminate the seizures?
Can you accept an amputation of your feet or a failing kidney a few years down the road? Oh, wait, you'll have an explanation for that - your high blood sugar - so I guess it's not a problem?
I know it's frustrating when you don't know what's going on with your body, but letting one problem go out of control when it's not even proven that it's causing the other problem (and it seems as if it isn't) isn't smart.
