[QUOTE="Rach79, post: 33057, member: 12270"] Yeah on record my last HB1Ac was classed as normal by the clinic - although I was having on average 5 hypo attacks a day at that time and the remainder was hyperglyceamic attacks. One of which nearly cost me my life. Apparantly the BG can be normal but then a sudden drop in BG can cause hypo and person to lose conscienceness. After post mortem it is difficult to detect because although at time of death the glucose reaches 0 mmol - after death the body can apparantly release sugar so when BG is tested it doesn't show 0 mmol and they have to judge whether it was due to a hypo or not. If the BG is lower than normal I think they suspect yes. I would guess judging by that information it would be also. [/QUOTE]
