Anyone familiar with the danger of diabetes knows that low blood sugar can launch you into a life-threatening situation in just a matter of minutes. To make matters more challenging, the insulin drop can make it difficult to think straight or perform daily functions, like ordering food to get yourself stabilized.
Such was the case for Rebecca Boening, a retired police officer from Amarillo, Texas.

Last Wednesday afternoon, she was driving on the interstate when her blood sugar suddenly dropped to a “dangerous level.”
Thankfully, a Burger King was located at the next exit, so Rebecca quickly pulled into the drive-thru to place an order.
“As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food,” she wrote on Facebook, adding that “low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act.”
