As an aside, can I say that it is great to live in Australia, where out litigation laws are much tighter, and I therfor don't have to worry about been sued. (at least not to the extent of my American counterparts).
Having said that, I would have let the kid play, based on what I have heard here. Here's my reasoning:
1. He was not unconscious (by my definition, you can't be unconscious and sitting upright)
2. He had parental permission (legally might not mean much, but would still influence my decision)
3. He was not a danger to anyone else.
4. His condition (being diabetic) is a managable one, and as such, I don't feel that the player should be "punished" by being excluded.
5. I would assume (yes I know the ramifications of making assumptions) that the player (and hopefully his parents) would know more about his condition, recovery times, etc than me. If they both feel that he is ok to continue, and he is showing to obvious signs that I can observe - let him play.
But as I said, I usually don't need to worry about being sued....
