I am really sorry to hear about Kirk. I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. This is really not the time to make any comparisons. I apologize for my insensitivity and the loss of your friend.

Don't worry, I didn't take it as insensitive or anything.

Back when I was still on the job, I had a few calls involving diabetics having low blood sugar problems. Because my Mom is a diabetic, I recognized the symptoms right away, plus our department was really proactive when it came to medical treatment/first responder training.
Each time (and as has happened with my mom on occasion) the person didn't realize their blood sugar was getting dangerously low, even though they had been managing their condition quite well, through medication and dietary intake.
It comes over a person fast, and sometimes, they don't realize it in time to act.
It's not the same as drinking too much buddy.
Curtis, my condolences on the loss of your friend.
