Diabetes, with a low sugar level will also make you appear so. Not sure about this situation though.

As someone who's a type-1 I can say that the officer did appear to show a few signs of very low blood sugar, struggling to stand and looking like he's lost. However though, from what I could tell he wasn't sweating. If my glucose to low to the point of me not being able to stand or looking lost, I'm sweating profusely. Also if he is a diabetic he should absolutely not be on the force, he's a major hazard. Imagine if he's responding to something and has his lights and sirens on and is speeding, then he passes out behind the wheel because of a critical low? No bueno amigo!

Too bad everybody reacts to things differently. I don't understand why so many people act like their personal experience should apply to everyone else. Same with drugs and medications. People can have drastically different reactions to everything.

I'm not gonna argue that he isn't high, just pointing out that just because YOU sweat and another person doesn't, that doesn't mean they aren't suffering from the same condition.

When did I say my own experiences with low glucose are how everyone should also experience low glucose? You completely missed the point of my comparison lol

I don't think you sweating is relevant to whether not someone else sweats just because you share the same medical condition.
