I was reading your story and was intrigued. I have type 2 but I also have a cousin that has been type 1 since she was a child and she's in her 40's now. She has explained some of her episodes and I am concerned. She states that at numerous times her sugar has been as low as 20 and she has severe weightloss and weighs about 90 lbs She says she cannot use things like Glucerna shakes or snacks because she says they go right through her. Even to the point of making her vomit. I believe she might have thyroid disease but her drs haven't done any other testing to confirm what is really going on but I personally cannot allow my sugar to drop below 60 without the shakes and nauseau so I grab some peanut butter or OJ to bring my sugar up. I don't think I could survive with a sugar below 50. Does this sond like some things that you have heard of? And are there any tests that you know a dr should perform to diagnose her better?
