IF you did believe him, wouldn't you have a duty to report him to DMV for some sort of medical clearance? Seems like a "medical" condition that would take you away long enough to not see/heed a red light would need further review.
And since we are on medical, does a DUI due to insulin carry the same consequences as DUI with alcohol? I know there are stories of diabetics being tossed into drunk tanks when they have a low. I've "come to" in strange places, no idea how I got there, when my sugar got low. One time, I woke up at Costco eating a hot dog. Not a clue how I got there.
