Hypoglycemia: Driving Under the Influence

Just in via email from some Houston and Virginia lawyers that specialize in driving under the influence cases:

Stabilizing blood sugar levels is an everyday problem for many Americans. For those who endure the various problems of errors in metabolism, ranging from diabetes to hypoglycemia, the condition often can be not only a medical
one but also a legal one.

As states enforce ever more stringent DUI legislation, an increasingly frequent occurrence for many with blood sugar problems has been to be unjustly charged with a crime that can have long-lasting effects on their lives and careers.

They have written a new article, available free here, that says science shows that plunges and spikes in blood sugar levels can mimic the effect of drinking and driving. If you or someone you care about is in that category, you might want to give it a read. [link fixed]

We're haven't read it so we can't endorse or slam it, but its something worth reading because these cases happen more often than you might think.

If you do read it, we hope you will report back on what you think of the arguments and whether they are likely to be accepted by a court.
