Girl, 9, Saves Mom From Diabetic Attack While Driving

[Northerner]

A fast thinking 9-year-old Illinois girl was able to help guide her mother to safety after the woman suffered a diabetic attack while driving at speeds of up to 70 mph.
Jennifer Sheridan, 42, was driving her daughter Aleksandra to McDonald’s in Frankfort, Ill., after the two had attended a high school basketball game on the evening of Jan. 18. Sheridan, who has type 2 diabetes, had a diabetic attack when her blood sugar suddenly dropped. She told ABCNews.com that she was not aware of what was happening.

Scary 😱

Sheridan said that she is now using an insulin pump, which is designed to eliminate lows in blood sugar in diabetics. She said that she will soon be on the list for a new pancreas.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, for goodness sake!!!!!! 🙄

Have you noticed how these US reports always seem to be sympathetic to the diabetic?

You've missed the attack diabetic that's on the loose. It was on the M6 in that snowstorm last Friday, a poor bloke was attacked by him and the Mountain Rescue had to well - rescue him.

Is it a serial attacker that gets about a lot?

😱

Keep yer car doors locked and Be Careful Out There!
