Abstract

We describe two insulin-dependent diabetic females who presented with severe hypoglycaemia associated with atrial fibrillation which reverted to sinus rhythm after intravenous dextrose. Atrial fibrillation has not previously been reported as a complication of hypoglycaemia in insulin-dependent diabetic patients.
