> Low blood sugar level can cause brain damage.

I don't have any medical background and no reason to doubt your info about brain damage. However, in Archon of the East's original post, #24, the question was about heart attack, which I believe doctors have pretty much dismissed as the cause of Terri's collapse in 1990. Is there any possibility that brain damage caused by a low blood sugar level could then cause a heart attack?

Insulin overdose can bring down potassium level (which was observed) and could lead to cardiac arrest but my understanding is that heart attack was not confirmed from EEG evidence. Aparently blood suger was not measured or recorded, but potassium was.

The death of brain tissue generally occurs as a result of lack of oxygen to the brain or direct trauma. And your right there are reports that say her cardiac enzymes where normal and no death to heart tissue (heart attack, cardiac infarction)occurred. I have still as of last night heard doctors say it was a lack of oxygen that caused her brain damage. However, if the reports are in fact true that no heart attack occurred then as a possibility:

The symptoms of low blood sugar range from mild to severe. Watch for the following symptoms that result from low blood sugar:

mild symptoms
dizziness
irritability
hunger
clumsiness, shakiness
sweating
fast heartbeat
moderate symptoms
confusion
headache
poor coordination
severe symptoms
seizures
unconsciousness
coma
death.

Obviously, an overdose of insulin will result in hypoglycemia. I like many here are suspicious, however I also believe that insulin is used by some people who are weight conscious to eliminate the excess sugar in their system.
