In both cases, the babies’ blood sugar levels had plummeted, which is what you would expect to see with insulin poisoning.

Located behind the stomach, the pancreas is a large gland that helps people digest food and regulate blood sugar.

“Orders were to continue using the insulin pump, confirm metformin dose and add blood sugar checks,” the autopsy findings show.
