Normally when someone has a hypo, they suffer many of the symptoms listed above once their blood sugar reaches a certain level (often between 2.8-3.3 mmol/l).  In pregnancy, a woman’s blood sugar can drop dangerously low (below 2.8 mmol/l) before she has any of the normal warning signs of a hypo – therefore she is at higher risk of going into a coma.
