    Can be. Should be.

    Usually isn’t in a law enforcement context.

    Being an angry drunk doesn’t excuse beating your family; they still have legal culpability for those actions, where hyper/hypoglycemia usually isn’t by choice; and therefore gets the “I didn’t know what I was doing” defense.

    My friend was literally not able to make rational choices or control himself until they dosed him with insulin. Took 3 cops and 2 beefcake firefighters to subdue him. It’s hard and funny to imagine. Man I miss him.
