I can see why a definitive cause of death would help you in processing it all. Was there a coroner's inquest or other official cause of death?Yes it is true that drinking alcohol will interfere with the glucagon injections that are used by paramedics in treating someone in a hypoglycemic coma. I think you are using mg/dl units so 31 mg/dl is below 2 mmol/L and very low. 27 md/dl is very low to come out of a coma unaided. It sounds like he had had repeated coma incidents prior to the fatal one? Every hypo coma unfortunately is a risk of a fatality. Again, very sorry for your loss.</blockquote>
