  Diabetic coma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A person unconscious from hypoglycemia is usually pale, has a rapid heart beat, and is soaked in sweat, all signs of the adrenaline response to hypoglycemia.
Unconsciousness due to hypoglycemia is treated by raising the blood glucose with intravenous glucose or injected glucagon.
Diabetic coma was a more significant diagnostic problem before the late 1970s, when glucose meters and rapid blood chemistry analyzers became universally available in hospitals.

 UNDERSTAND HYPOGLYCEMIA By PAULA D.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Hypoglycemia can be caused by delaying or skipping a meal or snack, eating less food than planned, getting more exercise or being more physically active than expected, stress, illness, or changes in dosage needs for medications due to improved diabetes management or weight loss.
Hypoglycemia can also be caused by medications used for other conditions and by diabetic nerve damage (gastroparesis) that delays digestion of food in the stomach, causing the medication to peak at a time when the meal has not yet been digested and the blood sugar level has not yet had its after-meal rise.
Diabetics are advised never to drink alcohol on an empty stomach and to avoid drinking alcohol if their recent diabetes management has been poor.
