[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 330494"] Thank you SO much. It is hard to lose your last family member, but so unexpectedly and suddenly with no explanation is tough. Not to mention we are in another country. What the friend did tell us is that he came over to spend New Years eve. They weren't drinking. In the morning his friend tried to wake him and he said he was too tired. Very lethargic. He tried to talk to him but he began fading in and out of consciousness. He then called for an ambulance. According to the doctor they began CPR on the way to the hospital. What the doctor found was very low blood sugar, very low blood pressure and very low hemoglobin levels. His friend said that he(brother) fell at his home about a week ago. Thinks he may have lost consiousness then but not sure. He had been to the doctor recently with a bout of pneumonia. My mother had diabetes. The tiredness, unable to wake him, lethargic all are familiar signs my mother suffered when she had low blood sugar. I have no idea what hemoglobin is. I believe anemia? Not sure. But I know once your blood sugar gets too low your organs malfunction. And can cause death. The doctors didn't say any of that. Only that they do not know what put him into cardiac arrest and they are doing an autopsy. In a way, this will be helpful for my family. My husbands parents were not in his life since a very young age. He and his brother struggled through some very tough times and that connection always kept them together.(not physically) I have absolutely NO medical history on my husbands family. Father was an alcoholic who beat his family. Died in car accident due to being intoxicated. That is the only family history I have. And that information I got from my brother in law that passed away. My husband is very, very quiet about those young years. So, I feel his blood sugar was the altimate factor. I believe his fall a week or so ago was also due to blood sugar. We will wait for the autopsy report and I will not say anything to my husband about this. He is really upset. Doctor did say he passed quietly, in no pain. thank you again for all your thoughts. Each and every one is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
