Has anyone experienced the Insulin Shock-Ghost Syndrome?

Question

After falling asleep, wake up in an almost Insulin Shock way, shaking. sweating,check Blood Sugars and their Normal.

One conclusion is the Bed time snack?

Answer 1

It could be that your blood sugar was simply dropping very fast, triggering hypo symptoms. That's why you tested normal.

OR, you could have a had a hypo and "rebounded" back to normal range by the time you tested (thank your liver for saving you here).

Or, less likely, it could be something unrelated. Bad dream, anxiety, or a release of adrenaline for unknown reasons.

If you have these often, review your overnight BG's by wearing a continous glucose monitor from your doctor. You may catch hypos you didn't know you were having.

Answer 3

a has to be correct because b, c, and d are wrong. b is wrong because it says to call 911 ONLY for diabetic coma. c is wrong in two ways. First, it says that a coma victim can be conscious. Second, it says not to give sugar to someone in insulin shock. d is wrong because it says to call 911 ONLY for insulin shock. Insulin shock means blood glucose is too low. A person in insulin shock needs immediate glucose (or easy to digest sugars). If they can't eat/drink, they'll need an immediate shot to force their body to create glucose. Diabetic coma is because blood glucose is too high and the body has become acidic. This person needs immediate emergency care. Insulin will help, but they need more help than this. Both are emergency situations. If you're not sure which it is, it's best to give immediate glucose, if possible, and let the ER sort out the rest.

Answer 4

Good health comes from a BALANCE in our DIET, REST AND EXERCISE.
There are many things that can be done to overcome type II diabetes, and improve the life of a Type I diabetic.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

If you are serious about not being falling victim to diabetes needlessly, get a copy of "One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
It helped me, and my brother, who was dying. We lead mostly normal lives now. Best of luck.
