[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1608172, member: 52527"] Regarding your son speaking in a foreign accent, I think he should visit his GP (perhaps with you to accompany him to explain what you witnessed). There is a condition called 'foreign accent syndrome' which can occur as a result of neurological damage. Most cases are not transient and seem to be caused by head injury or stroke but it might be possible that hypoglycaemia could have a similar effect. On the other hand, your GP might want to rule out a tumour. It would be wise to get it documented in case it happens again.

There is information from St John's ambulance about recognising and treating hypoglycaemia here:- [URL]http://www.sja.org.uk/sja/first-aid-advice/illnesses-and-conditions/diabetic-emergency.aspx[/URL] [/QUOTE]
