inducing stroke with insulin Posted: 04-12-08 19:35pm
I would like to know if you give a non
diabetic an overdose of insulin can it
cause a stroke?

Deliberate overdose with insulin in
nondiabetic patients will cause toxic
hypoglycaemia, including hypoglycaemic
coma, neurological impairment and death (a
delay between insulin injection and first
medical treatment in excess of 6 hours is
predictor of unfavorable outcome after
insulin poisoning).
Hypoglycaemia can sometimes present with
signs of a stroke, especially in older
people.
Sorry, for asking, but, what's the nature
of your interest for this subject?
Did you lose somebody due to this kind of
"accident"?

My sister Posted: 04-15-08 04:31am
My sister died, of a stroke, when she was
just 49. She had been married for only two
months to a diabetic. Her son knew she had
made a will but no will was found. Her
husband got everything. I just found the
whole situation very disturbing and
suspicious. Although all this happened a
few years ago now, just recently I read
the story of Claus Von Bulow and alarm
bells started to ring!

Wow! That's so creepy!
I'm sorry for your sister.
Was an autopsy performed after her death?
Do you think she had certain risk factors
for stroke?
I think autopsy is required before payment
of insurance.
