been a non insulin dependent diabetic for 10 years. I control it by diet, 1500 calories a day.

When your blood sugar gets low bad things happen. Your brain shuts down, have trouble thinking an talking, making words and putting them into sentences, you are lucky to get one word out. You lose the ability to control your body temperature. You get cold and start shaking. The shaking turns to seizures and then into a coma. You can be revived by taking sugar at anytime up to the coma stage.
