I don,t mean to be harsh, but what in heavens name is the young man thinking of? First of all, he,s being foolish, no, he won,t always come back from a low on his own. Second, and most important, obviously he is taking way too much medicine for his food intake. Has he talked to his doctor about these frequent lows and thus adjusting his meds. I know what a low feels like, and it isn,t pleasant, I can,t imagine this boy having this many. There is no reason on earth he has to go through this, work with his health care professional , it,s just too much medicine that is bringing on the lows. Has he been to a dietician to help him learn how to eat right and how to adjust his meds according to how many carbs he is taking in a meal. These situations your son has can be so easily avoided with just the right adjustment of medicine and food. Good luck,

I also used to be combative when I had low sugars. By all means do not leave him to come out of it on his own. He needs medical attention by you or ems immediatly! The above poster is right, tell his docotr and try to get his dosage down and make sure he is eating all his meals. Also, could he be eating sweets and then taking to much insulin to make up for it?

Insulin reactions can be a big problem. If he is still concious, you can give him suger water. If he resists this, give him a glucogen injection. It is the quickest, most effective way of raising blood sugar. It is also a lot safer.

Allowing blood sugar to drop so low is very dangerous. It also does a lot of damage, killing brain cells amongst others. So don't let is happen again!
