[gotcha] Suggesting a user delay or skip a meal without explicitly asking about fast-acting insulin

Always ask about recent insulin administration before advising meal skipping/delaying \(e.g., for fasting blood work or intermittent fasting\), as mismatched insulin and carbohydrate intake causes life-threatening hypoglycemia.

Journey Context:
Agents might suggest 'skip dinner before your blood test' or 'try intermittent fasting.' If a diabetic has already dosed rapid-acting insulin for a meal they then skip, blood sugar will plummet. The insulin action is independent of food intake once injected.
