Hope you have informed this to the doctor who is treating her. A thorough review during the followup - consideration of the history of events and the reports (previous and new reports) along with physical examination will help the doctor to fine-tune the treatment. Please discuss with the doctor about the precautions to be taken to avoid hypoglycemia (and if needed even adjust the dosage of the insulin or change it etc ). Learn more about hypoglycemia from the internet and educate everyone how it can be avoided by following simple steps of precaution and by being vigilant all the times. Also take care of her diet and inspire her to be active physically. Train your mother and other family members who attend to her to be vigilant and understand the signs and symptoms and how to communicate to the doctor. A healthy lifestyle and regular follow-up will help her to come out of this situation very soon. You can also take a second opinion if you are not convinced by the doctor or things do not get better.
