There was an incident in Broken Hill, mid to late 80's, where a Nomad pilot had forgotten to mention to his DAME or CASA (or whatever they were back then) his little diabetic problem.

As I understand it, he became unconscious but fortunately, had a work experience pilot from the Cessnock space-base in the right hand seat,who was able to land the aircraft.
