It sounds like she’s a brittle diabetic. (No pun intended). They usually don’t live to a ripe old age. A broken shoulder is much more complicated in the type of diabetic such as she is. She is 63 years old. A brittle diabetic’s lifespan is about 20 years less than normal. She obviously takes good care of her health, which is vital for brittles, but it wasn’t too long ago that she had an episode of low enough blood sugar that she passed out. I don’t agree with her politics, but she has achieved a lot for someone with her type of diabetes. It’s not unusual for brittles to have frequent hospitalizations. I pray she lives a full, rewarding life, but she will probably have to retire soon.
Maybe she can do her job from bed, like McCain ....
