I wasn't making excuses...just pointing out that it's not typically a lack of medication that causes the problem like you originally asserted. One would have to know more about the specific circumstances to blame the victim. Like for example...was this the first time this happened or part of a series of incidents? What really led up to the shock? Was he monitoring his glucose or not? Likely you're right and the person was careless or neglectful. Could be it's akin to blaming an epileptic for his first seisure.
