Diabetic attack... symptoms

fantasymale

Is it possible for a person to stand with dilated pupils while having a diabetic attack and remember everything that has occurred?

Is aggression part of a diabetic seizure?

Is frothing at the mouth part of the systems of a diabetic seizure?

Does a diabetic 'fit' ?

How long can a seizure last and what are the stages?

Hmmm this would be better discussed on the Long Term Illness board.

I will asume you mean a low blood suger incident AKA "a Hypo", a diabetic can have what appears to be a fit though it rare ocurence using modern insulins (severe low suger takes longer to happen so plenty of warning as a rule).

Low suger can induce several behavoural charactaristics including agression and frustration (body does not comply with the brains wishes) and muddled thinking.

If the attack is strong, much energy is lost and won't be restored until suger enters the system.

An "attack" lenght varies so can't be defined as such, it needs to be treated with glucose/suger as soon as possible. If the diabetic slips into a sleep and can't be woken then its call 999 time but an attack should be been spotted long before this happens.

Thanks Mike

I am still not sure if i am dealing with a diabetic or someone who uses it as an excuse so next time I will punch him and see what happens

If he is a diabetic will he remember it ??
