[QUOTE="vintageutopia, post: 868706, member: 167332"] I am sorry for your sister. What a terrible feeling. It could be her insulin and BS levels, but is she also taking other medications? Low and high blood sugars come and go, so she should have periods of time that she is lucid or mentally active, even if she is sitting in a chair. Since you say this is happening daily and "constantly", my guess is that she is either 1) taking medication(s) with a sedating effect 2) taking more than one medication with similar properties 3) too high of a dosage 4) her medications are adversely interacting with one another. I am not sure how things work in the UK, but I would recommend that she review her medication lists with her physician, nurse practitioner, or pharmacist. Whether it be her BS/insulin levels or other medication, she does not have quality of life. She needs to be seen and treated. Best of luck to you both. [/QUOTE]
