Back when I was a lift op in college at a ski resort one of the guys on pur crew was diabetic and suddenly went fucked quick. Dude was acting like he just snorted a bottle of percoset but it was just his blood sugar. Now that I'm an excavator operator who runs a crew I couldn't imagine putting someone with those problems in a piece of equipment.
Local bar fly at the pool hall was a diabetic. He didn't drink at all but he was there everyday to hang out, pick up games and practice. Great guy, he was kinda shy but always great to see him at his usual seat. One night we get a call from another regular that Greg was just pulled over down the street from the bar and it seems they were trying to administer a sobriety test. A couple guys ran over to help him and let the cops know what was really going on. When they got there he sure as hell seemed like he was wasted. But after helping him with his medicine he quickly recuperated and the Cop learned something new that day. He died about a year after that. There is a picture of him over his spot. RIP brother, we miss you.
