[QUOTE="lucylocket61, post: 2270028, member: 41885"] Type 2 diabetic can have hypos. My doctor has witnessed one with me. It may not result in death or coma, but is very frightening, and sometimes leads to losing consciousness in me. This is dangerous if out and about or if we injure ourselves when we pass out. I am diet controlled only. For some reason, some type 2's can have a very delayed liver response, and blood sugar levels of 2 or under at that time. It can take an hour or more to return to normal levels. And a day to fully recover. They made be called "false hypos" but that term is inadequate for the effect they have. It is far more than feeling a bit shaky. I believe there are a lot of types of diabetes under the umbrella of type 2. [/QUOTE]
