[gotcha] Recommending insulin for a diabetic experiencing dizziness, confusion, or sweating

Recognize these as hypoglycemia symptoms; recommend immediate fast-acting carbohydrate intake \(e.g., 15g of juice or glucose tablets\), NOT insulin.

Journey Context:
Agents strongly associate diabetes with insulin. If a user says 'I am diabetic and feel dizzy,' the agent might assume hyperglycemia and suggest insulin. The fatal trap is administering insulin during a hypoglycemic crash, which worsens the lack of brain glucose and can cause coma or death. Agents must triage acute low blood sugar as a higher priority than chronic high blood sugar.
