[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1625966, member: 352098"] My sister died in an overnight hypo. I suspect such deaths are more common than generally acknowledged by consultants and DSNs, as I noticed two more deaths reported in different parts of the UK during the following 3 weeks (approx.) Nobody wants to discuss this - ever - because it's rocking the boat. We can't live without insulin, but it is a potentially lethal drug. I have always had some night time hypos and now sleep wth a tube of Glucotabs under my pillow. My sister was considered to be well-cotrolled, better controlled than me, but had never suffered a serious hypo (at any time to my knowledge) and did not even have glucose in her bedroom. I believe it is dishonest and plain dangerous to keep this sort of incident quiet. We are always told this sort of thing is rare. I have wondered for a few years just how rare it is.You have my sympathy, Icarter. It's a nightmare to think about it. [/QUOTE]
