Abstract

Hypoglycemia and hypoglycemic unawareness is usually a complication of tight glycemic control in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

Through this case report, we aimed to highlight that hypoglycemia should be suspected as a cause of decreased level of consciousness in patients suffering from recurrent congestive cardiac failure , as it can be easily overlooked and the condition can easily be reversed by simply administering adequate glucose.
