Low blood sugar? Something else?

Actually, that's not quite true. I have seen many a diabetic come into our unit with a blood sugar of anywhere from 8 to greater than 1000. It is very possible for diabetics to become hypoglycemic. 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.
