Study found abnormal rhythms when blood sugar dipped at night in people with type 2 disease
"This study noted that spontaneous insulin-induced episodes of hypoglycemia were associated with asymptomatic mild heart arrhythmias. We have performed similar studies in animals, and noted similar arrhythmias during insulin-induced hypoglycemia," Fisher said.
"However, in animal studies, when blood sugar became severely low, more severe abnormal cardiac rhythms -- in other words, fatal heart rhythms -- were noted. So, based on existing animal and human data, we speculate that severe hypoglycemia-induced arrhythmias may contribute to sudden death in patients with insulin-treated diabetes," Fisher said.
From my website:
"In full attacks, I have raging REM, sleep paralysis, high heart rate and very hot breath. " (Me)
"The rest of the evening was wasted, because of the rapid heartbeats and horrific headache that accompanies me when I wake from these "sleep comas" as I call them. (Anna V)
