going to do you far more mischief far sooner than high BS.

He's a Type 2, Alan! He's got a fully functioning liver.

Yes, me too, and the one I'm eating for lunch. But neither of these is a
guarantee against low BS. Heck, even type 0s can have hypos.

Not the sort that can do you harm - ever. Unless you're drunk or on drugs.

Any hypo can do you harm, especially if you're discussing your possible
promotion with your boss at the time, or something like that.

I'm thinking of the time my then 4 yo nephew had been wailing in misery
for over half an hour, to the distress and bewilderment of both parents,
and a single cube of sugar put him right within a couple of minutes. Or
when a friend of mine, a professional driver, overtook another car on the
wrong side one late afternoon after he'd skipped lunch. No drinks or
drugs involved at all.
