A member asked:
Supposing that a persons blood sugar goes so low that it causes them to pass out and remain unconcious can that affect their memory permanently ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypoglycemia : Severe hypoglycemia (too low blood sugar) that causes loss of consciousness is also called Insulin shock. It is a very serious situation and in some situations can cause permanent damage to the brain. It is important to understand what caused the episode and take measures to avoid future hypoglycemic episodes.
