In the world we live in today we are constantly changing as individuals. We may physically or emotionally change on a day-to-day basis or over a period of time, but either way we constantly experience change in one form or another. One thing that individuals come to meet at one point in their lives is that of becoming sick and the possibility that it could affect their lives in both positive and negative aspects. When an individual has diabetes many things in their life begins to change whether it is what they are eating or how much exercise they are participating in.
However, does your diabetes contribute to the possibility that you could get a DUI charge? One such incident occurred recently that proved to show the issue that diabetes can easily be mistaken as drunk driving. A man was driving home and began to swerve on the road since his blood sugar levels were becoming low. Officers then mistook the man as a drunk driver and proceeded to pull him over. From there, the man was asked to proceed in a field sobriety test, which he agreed to regardless of the fact he felt faint and awful now. At one point during the examination he began to have a diabetic seizure. The police then assumed the man was either trying to flee the seen and/or attack them and began to hit the man.
The man suffered from minor injuries from the attack, but now has to wear an insulin pump as a result from not being treated in a timely manner during his diabetic seizure. Many cases can be seen that individuals with diabetes are easily mistaken for drunk drivers when actually operating their vehicles on the road. However, their motor and communication skills give absolutely no indication that they have been drinking or using any drugs at all.
The health of an individual is something that is important now and later. When you are falsely accused of drinking and driving it is important to make sure that you make sure any health related issues are addressed to make sure that your innocence stands firm and solid. A DUI is a serious crime that affects an individual’s life in more than one aspect so make sure that you fight for your rights through and through.
