Dead-in-bed syndrome unexpected death in young type 1 diabetic patients "with no history of diabetic complications, and in particular no autonomic dysfunction. They are found in an undisturbed bed, which seems to exclude death during a convulsive attack"[1].

This was first described in a series of 20 patients in 1991[2].

Etiology

Proposed causes include:

  • Hypoglycemic unawareness[3] or the 'hypoglycemia-unawareness syndrome'[4]
  • Hypoglycemia-induced ventricular dysrhythmia due to QT prolongation during hypoglycemia[5]
  • Hypoglycemia-induced autonomic dysfunction which may lead to ventricular dysrhythmia due to QT prolongation[6]

Diagnosis

Diabetic ketoacidosis may be sought during autopsy by vitreous fluid biochemical analyses [7].
