diabetes is when your body can't properly control the amount of sugar in the blood. if the sugar level becomes too high or too low, the person goes into diabetic shock.

Thank you for answering that. My little brother Peter [who is 12] has had diabetes since he was six, so I know everything about it [obviously]. I even know how to administer his shots. I had to learn that, just in case I need to do it.
He needs three shots a day, following a finger prick with a needle. I won't go into details.
Anyway, the other day, at about 11.30 in the morning, dad was asking him a question and Peter was slumped at the table, not answering. Mum came over and touched his shoulder. Peter looked up, leaned toward mum, threw his arms around her neck and fainted. He went into diabetic shock almost immediately. Everyone flew into action, Erica [she's 17] grabbed a pillow and put it under his head as mum laid him on the floor, dad grabbed his glucometer [that measures his sugar level] and checked his level.
He was at 23.
A good level would be between 80 to 180.
Oh, and if a diabetic doesn't get treated quickly and brought back awake, they can slip into a diabetic coma. And there's no telling whether they'll wake up from it or not.
Peter was clenching his jaw, a side affect of the shock. Mum slipped her finger coated with maple syrup along the inside of his cheek, so his cheek would absorb the sugar and he would wake up. We used other things, too.
It took an hour to bring him back.
Erica was crying, and at one point I almost did too. Because Peter, still not awake, began to hum a song we used to sing at bedtime, when we were little.
It was very scary.

So that was my Colombus day. :rolleyes:
