Hypoglycaemia: insulin and conflicts with the law

Vincent Marks

Oriel House, Derby Road, Haslemere, GU27 1BP, UK, vincentmarks{at}bigfoot.com

ypoglycaemia can bring patients into contact with the law in a variety of ways. It can be used as a defence against almost any criminal charge especially those involved with driving or with violence. It has also been used as an offensive weapon. Allegations of murder by insulin are easy to make but difficult to substantiate as methods of analysis that are appropriate for clinical use are not necessarily adequate for forensic purposes.

Key Words: hypoglycaemia • law • offence • defence • crime • murder • Munchausen by proxy • immunoassay.
