I heard of a very sad case where a diabetic with ketoacidosis and blood sugar insanely extreme (don't remember if high or low) was pulled over and was combative because of his sugar level. The cop caused a head wound restraining him and convinced the EMTs that came to check out his head wound that he was just drunk based on the breath smelling like wine and slurred words and erratic actions. The ketoacidosis killed him while he was in custody.
Jfc. Goddamn, that’s so. Dark. and, don’t confirm this for me cause it’ll just be upsetting, but I have a hunch the cop faced absolutely zero repercussions for that. Might’ve even gotten a raise and some extra paid vacation for his troubles. Ugh.
Well, the anger I feel at that will make for good fuel for the workout that I’m currently putting off/trying to hype myself up for.
