He couldn't speak and couldn't walk. He just stood there. The trainers rushed on the field and took him off but I had no clue what was wrong nor did they for a bit. Turns out the guy had gone into diabetic shock. He didn't tell me before the game and so the trainers had to figure it out on their own. Luckily, after a while he was OK but it scared the **** out of me and the players/coaches as well.
If you still see this guy, I would highly recommend to him that he get one of those medic alert bracelets that tells everyone he is a diabetic. This could potentially save his life if he is somewhere by himself, and he has a similar issue.
