Hypoglycemia (Low blood sugar)

Hi all. I would like to share on this topic "Hypoglycemia" that actually took my mother's life 2.5yr ago.

My mom had diabetic, and she also undergone surgery and chemotherapy for her breast cancer. There was no doctor that educated my family about possibility of hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar. All the while, our common understanding is that high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) IS the only major concern.

There are many other complications she suffered, but here I would only like to educate on the symptoms she suffered that was linked to hypoglycemia. One morning, we (dad & I) found my mom still sleeping until near afternoon. We tried to wake her up many times, but we finally managed to. We did not seek any doctor consulation over that as we thought there's nothing serious. She was "normal" throughout the day and I had even fed her a scope of ice cream during dinner.

The following morning, again she could not wake up and we could not wake her up as well. We tried and tried and failed, thus we had her sent to hospital. She was warded few days, connected to a machine....I don't know it was for. She never woke up at all... And one unfortunate morning, we received the bad news from hospital that my mom had passed away. The COD was hypoglycemia! I surfed the net for info and learnt of it.

Until today, I still feel slight anger that no medical experts educated my family of potential hypoglycemia. We thought there possibility of hyperglycemia is under control as my mom was taking medicine for diabetic.

Anyway, the key message here is for those with family member(s) having diabetic, and without any family doctor, to get educated on all potential difficulties that could occur and how to prevent them. Feel free to go to the links I am sharing here and learn more, if applicable.

Thanks for your time to read my post, appreciate it.
