Beasley was that way. In the 3.5 years that he had insulinoma, and blood glucose levels regularly between 30 and 50 mg/dL, I could count the number of episodes he had on both hands. And they were not severe episodes. Mostly hypersalivation and that was about it. He never had a seizure, that I was aware of anyway, until the day before his death.
