Do you have any information about what happened?
(context: my son is DT1) We learn (in France) that hypoglycemia can lead to unconsciousness, but cannot be fatal as the liver will eventually take over and release glucose to the organism, as it always does for healthy persons. Glucagen injection is the way to get this release to happen fast, but it can be delayed if necessary.
