Sorry, but he was a stubborn old fool and I hope they throw the book at him. Diabetics lived for years without apps and real-time monitoring. Hell, even us non-diabetics know what low BG feels like, my diabetic dad went for years without a monitor just by feel.

Hasnt stopped his lawyers from trying to get him off describing this as nothing more than a medical episode. But at what point do you hold him responsible? He ignored *nine* alerts.
