Diabetic Seizure, Return to game?

[chayce]

Well, I finally can speak authoritatively on this one! I am a diabetic referee and can tell you that this was not a diabetic "seizure", this was simply a case of low blood sugar which is very commonplace in the life of a diabetic. The remedy is very simple: eat or drink something with sugar in it. I normally slip glucose tablets into my mouth during games just to make sure that my blood sugar doesn't get too low during games.

I realize that you can not expect all refs to understand every disease that is out there but in this case the parents obviously are fully aware of the kids condition and the easy remedy for the problem because this is something that happens several times a week. Let him play. This is different than an injury or physical reaction that occurs during the course of play.
