My brother was recently diagnosed with diabetes when his chronic alcoholism and heroin drug addiction forced him to go to the Emergency Room. His blood sugar was 540 md/gl [30.0 mmol/L] and he was heading for a diabetic coma. Normally, he feels low at 50 mg/dl [2.8 mmol/L], but my mother says he now feels low at 150 mg/dl [8.3 mmol/L] and is not feeling well. He called the 24 hour nurse, the hospital and the pharmacy and all advised him to see a doctor, but they gave no explanation. What could be going on?
