For those of us who ARE diabetic, it could well prevent a far worse situation developing. A bad hypo attack can lead first to violence and then convulsions preceding the lapse to unconsciousness. By that stage you have very severe medical problems to deal with.......which could have been dealt with by not keeping people on planes for hours going nowhere, especially if you're not feeding and watering them.
