whose blood sugars are not stable and have Type 1 diabetes can

Dr. Jacome, MD, from Dartmouth, Hitchcock Medical Center in

severe bouts of low blood glucose for 40 years, got a migraine
after each episode once his blood-glucose levels were stabilized.

with unstable diabetes as a rebound phenomenon,” Dr. Janocme
states. Headache
