Hypoglycemia

One thing that comes to mind is did she do some kind of physical activity she normally didn't do on a regular basis. Did she do some furniture moving or start some kind of new exercise program? Something that may have changed her normal metabolic rate.

Last I heard, using peanut butter crackers were starting to be a norm in trying to stabilize BGL by eating something.

Goodday all

I agree with the statement "how much insulin". I have seen a few insulin over doses - intentional overdoses (often very well masked by "it must have been a mistake". All Pt's know the danger of this hormone as they are well warned. This pt sounded as if she had serious health problems and all combined must be absolute torture. Though infection, cortisol, etc will increase metabolism and possibly be the cause, how could you really know - you don't carry a lab around with you. Being ill is not always only physical.

Sorry to be the pessimist, i just want to ad the possibility. You did well and i would have done the same.
