YES! YOU SHOULD OFFER HER 8 OZ. OF ORANGE JUICE OR ASK HER TO TEST HER BLOOD SUGAR WHEN SHE ACTS LIKE THIS. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR HER SHE COULD GO INTO A COMA. DIABETES IS DANGEROUS. WE THAT HAVE IT SHOULD BE EDUCATED AND THOSE AROUND US SHOULD BE AS WELL. AND I'M GLAD YOU CARE ENOUGH TO ASK ABOUT IT. the AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION HAS A WEB SITE YOU CAN GO ON THERE AND LEARN A LOT. YOUR CA KEEP YOUR FRIEND FROM DYING, AND LOOK OUT AFTER HER SOMETIMES WE DO NOT REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON. SHE NEEDS TO TALK TO HER DOCTOR ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE. SHE MY NEED MEDICATION OR TO FOLLOW A STRICT DIET. DO NOT RUN AWAY FROM YOUR FRIEND, WE ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS, WE ALL NEED LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING. SHE CAN BE MOODY ALSO. THERE IS NOTHING SHE CAN DO BUT TAKE BETTER CARE OF HER SELF AND HOPE THEY COME UP WITH A CURE.
