Everyone, please stay safe and take care of yourselves. "Bad news" is why I hate to watch the news channels on TV.

Prayers to the family.
My good friend was a diabetic and while driving down the road his blood sugar got low and hit 2 cars and kept on driving not realizing he had hit anything. The police finally got him to pull over and thought he was messed up on drugs and roughed him up a little, and put him in the back of their car while "conducting their investigation". Luckily a diabetic police officer pulled up on the scene and realized the signs of the low blood sugar while trying to talk to him. They got him in an ambulance and to the ER. Fortunately after a couple of hours he became coherent enough to give the ER personel our phone number where we could go to help him. Unfortunately when a diabetic's blood sugar gets low they have no idea what is happening.

I may offend some here, but they are no less deadly than a drunk on the road. Sorry, they kill people. I guess some see the condition as an excuse, but they know they have it just like an alcoholic.
