Interesting statement.Finally it is said that DT2 do have the same complication with diabetes, low blood sugar. The same as it is DT1. There are so long was presented that only DT1 do have this dangerous complication. Now  it is DT2 in the same bound.
      Why low blood sugar happened in DT2?
       At first, the same as DT1 many of us take insulin. The same way as DT1. Very often the dose of insulin is higher then it is DT1. If we take insulin then what is the difference between DT1 and DT2? Nothing. If so, then why there are so many expressions that DT2 can be reversed with life style modifications? It cannot. Because of it is so simple, there are no types of diabetes but stages of it. Higher stage demand higher dose of insulin.
        Second, there are medicine for DT2 which is not appropriate for DT1. DT1 do not take SU, but insulin only. DT2 usually take SU together with Metformin. With time, thanks to SU, our pancreas skip into deeper hole, no longer own insulin secretion. But SU is the same as insulin leads to low blood sugar. Why? SU is the medicine which force diabetic's pancreas to secret more insulin, and this "more" does not the same as it is our natural insulin secretion. Insulin secretion forced by SU extremely danger, not controllable, not predictable, and not needed for body function. It is simple like we wast our very limited ability to secret insulin, and just enforce health complications. This is why DT2 die when DT1 live pretty comfortable on insulin injections.
      The fact is, most DT1 with time start to take lower dose of insulin. In contrary, DT2 must add-on more and more Junk Medicine such as Invokana, or any other which are not for DT1, but for DT2 only.

One-third of older adults with diabetes who had experienced a severe low blood sugar episode died within three years of the incident, according to a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health study.

Now there are a few Q?
Why diabetic die withing three years after low blood sugar episode? 
Why so severe low blood sugar episode happened?
What was done in treatment for this diabetic who got so severe low blood sugar episode?

Why diabetic die withing three years after low blood sugar episode? 
Before start discussion, it is most important to know, what episode was that? What treatment of diabetes lead to so severe low blood sugar episode that lead to so severe complication?
     The point is, so severe low blood sugar can be only if treatment was wrong. This low blood sugar can be with SU, when diabetic type 2 has no one idea what is going on, and not ready to face low blood sugar. When we start to take SU usually we do not have any idea what is it, and why we feel so badly. No one doctor will educate DT2 what medicine we take. It is profit. And also it is conspiracy of pro. So, DT2 has no one idea, when this episode started, it is low sugar, and we have to take meal right away. Go to any diabetics education program. How often DT2 educated what is low blood sugar and what to do with it? In all program we are educated how to eat right, and how to behave. It is never in the program, how to test ketonce in urine (DT2 according to MD has not ketones) or what to do if sugar below what level?
      Say me, what is the level of sugar which is so danger that lead to death withing next three years?
No any answer to this simple question. Personally I did have less then 38mg/dl when meter show "Low. See doctor" in stead of number. It was very long time ago. More then three years. I am alive, and getting better.
      
Why so severe low blood sugar episode happened?
          The friend of mine worked with old lady. They come to clinic, and lady's blood sugar was 700 mg/dl. She was given insulin shot and sent home. She was not able even leave the clinic. No, she did not die. And three years later I do not know how was she. But the point is only one, did MD know what dose to inject, and how to do so? Not at all. Lady had first insulin shot in her life. Her reaction to insulin was natural. It is not the case that she got too high dose of insulin. It is the way of Insulin Therapy which is wrong. With 700 mg/dl lady must go to hospital, and only under MD supervision start to have Insulin Therapy. With treatment like that I would not be surprise if lady will die less then within one year after insulin therapy.
          In ICU patient with high blood sugar treated with insulin IV. The dropping going according of body weight. Sorry, it is Insulin. And it is our blood, not cup of tea, add sugar if blood sugar is low, or add water if it is high. No any doubt with this barbarian therapy many DT2 does not survive, and die right in hospital because of low blood sugar.

 What was done in treatment for this diabetic who got so severe low blood sugar episode?
     It is easy to see that there are not too much done for diabetics to prevent low blood sugar complications. Say me, what diabetic must to do? take two spoons of sugar. Take hard candy. Every one do know it. Not every one do know how does it work, if it is really work. Sugar and candy lead to crush. Three glasses of OJ can help to survive to the next available eatery. This is why I do have OJ with me everywhere I go.
I do have Protein Bar. It is 20g or protein. This bar keep me OK up to 4-5 hr. Not any bar. Just protein bar. I get it in Costco. Any other bars does not work. Protein bar is good. It can replace meal in some situations.
       Now I wish to ask, if there are some bars available for diabetics to prevent dangerously low blood sugar? So many diabetics, every one out of ten is diabetic, and.... one program after another how to prevent low blood sugar, but no one diabetic bar which will replace meal in case of emergency, will not melt under hot Summer, or frees in cold winter.  This bar must be in pocket of diabetic all the time. No bar like that. Even in hospital diabetics die because of low blood sugar.
       BTW, in hospital, how low blood sugar treated? With IV of glucose. My goodness! Diabetes which is medical condition when carbs cannot be metabolized, treatment is, more and more carbs. Does it work?
      I try to be away of hospital as much as I can. This is the way of trust in Med Pro.

"The results of our study suggest that this adaptation may still be present after exposure to times of low blood sugar and therefore can be used to measure how frequently a person experiences low blood sugar," Dr. McDougal said. "We believe that by measuring how well a person's brain uses acetate, we might one day be able to determine if they are suffering from HAAF or are at increased risk for developing the condition in the near future."

 "One day" for many of us never will come. But even if it is come, what is the benefit for DT2?

This would allow doctors to provide treatment for reducing this risk by changing the medication the person takes or advising them to use a continuous glucose monitoring device, Dr. McDougal said.

         Sorry, why today do not start what is planned for very not predictable future? Stop Rx SU. It is killing medicine, and every one MD do know it way too well. To use glucose monitoring depend not on low blood sugar episodes or how DT2 manage them, but on health plan. DT2 is not qualified for this devise, regardless how many Low Blood Sugar episodes we do have.

       The final question is:
The study reveled what?
The study were done for what?
Money. As all studies, they study nothing, and at the end have the same result, there is nothing for DT2. We have to survive by ourselves, we our own educator and MD, and try to get as much info as it is possible, not on MD in clinic, but outside of shoe box.
