I've had type 1 diabetes since the age of 11 so I know abit about Diabetes, but my understanding of type 2 is very limited.
A friend of mine recently had a couple of episodes where he passed out unexpectedly. His doctor eventually diagnosed him as type 2 diabetic and said that the passing out was down to his blood sugar.
My question is could his blood sugar get low enough for him to pass out, when he hadn't been diagnosed so was therefore not taking any insulin or other medication? I always thought that a type 2 would only have to worry about their BG getting too high unless medicated with injecting insulin?
I'm worried that they have diagnosed the diabetes but there is something else going on to cause him to pass out like that.
