This is my worst nightmare scenario every time my diabetic son gets in the car...

Does he wear a bracelet or necklace with his condition?

That would be helpful, at least I know to me it would. If I remember correctly the older gent that had low blood sugar and hit a telephone pole had a card in his wallet. But, most cops, that I know, would probably be thinking 'drunk' first, especially if he's young.

The diabetic barber I spoke of earlier, the one I had to restrain because he was actively struggling against the rescue squad, I had to call his wife.

I thought she might be alarmed, or want to come to the scene, immediately.

Wrong. She wanted to berate him for not checking himself. To her it was almost an every day thing.

Even one of his customers came in and the attitude was 'oh, here we go again.'

Yet, had I been restraining him and something went 'pop' I guess I may be liable in court.
