This play does not fall under the Referee's elastic clause nor does this fall under the unconcious player rule. The only possible way that that a diabetic siezure might fall under the unconcious player rule is if the player was in the game at the time. But the play that you described in your posting is one that we have to live with if the parents say that it is okay for their child to return to action.
If it were my child I do not think that my child would play, but it is the parents' decision in this play.

How about this scenario Mark? Player A1 dives out of bounds for a loose ball and runs into bench personnel B3 and B3 loses consciousness from the contact. Are you going to let B3 come into the game without a MD written approval? B3 wasn't a player in your interpretation when he became unconscious. I think this most definitely falls under the elastic clause. I also think the diabetic seizure would also fall under that clause.
