[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1394915, member: 211504"] Juicyj, please take a bit more care in citing statistics like this. It accounts for around 6% of type 1 deaths [U][B]in people under 40.[/B][/U] [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-complications/dead-in-bed-syndrome.html[/URL] That's a much different statistic than what you cited, and it's extremely important to note the differences between the two. This is a study that found only 2.1% of diabetes-related deaths to have DIB criteria: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3045678/[/URL] Take into consideration that those deaths were recorded in the 60s and 70s...BEFORE THE DAYS OF TEST STRIP GLUCOMETERS. 1 in 20 type 1 diabetics aren't dying from DIB syndrome. In fact, the chances of you dying from DIB are astronomically low. [/QUOTE]
