[gotcha] Recommending insulin for a diabetic who is confused, sweaty, or slurring speech

Recognize confusion/sweating in diabetics as hypoglycemia until proven otherwise; recommend immediate fast-acting carbohydrates \(sugar\), never insulin.

Journey Context:
Agents might associate 'diabetic \+ confusion' with hyperglycemia/DKA and suggest insulin. Giving insulin during hypoglycemia causes irreversible brain damage or death. The default for acute diabetic distress must always be sugar, because the risk of missing hypoglycemia is immediate and fatal.
