Passing out and seizures can result from this as well. If you are found to have diabetes, your doc should put you in touch with a diabetic counselor who can discuss with you nutrition and lifestyle changes. Keep us posted!!

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard (not that I don't believe you, because anything can happen). When I was diagnosed my blood sugar was at 50 mmol/L and I was nearly comatose.
