[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 176702, member: 31282"] Non-diabetics can get hypos - for instance, from too much alcohol - but they don't have comas because the liver kicks in. Undiagnosed Type 2s can get hypos if the pancreas pushes out too much insulin - being on overdrive to cope with the insulin resistance - and lowers the BG too much. Again, no coma because the liver copes. So you might get some symptoms - eg sweats, pounding heart etc - but not realise what the cause was. I've had that long before I was diagnosed Type 2, when all my fasting blood glucose tests were coming back well within the normal range. I only realised what it was when I was diagnosed and started reading round. As far as I know - still learning! Viv [/QUOTE]
