Reviewing her story again today, she claimed she took 30 units of Lantus. We don't know her normal dose range so that's not helpful in itself, but she implied it was a lot more than normal. That was on top of purposefully not eating (because she didn't want to have to use the bathroom on the plane) plus more physical exertion than normal walking through the airport. If any of this actually happened, the ingredients were there for her to have a hypoglycemic episode.
She also claimed her blood sugar was 14 when she decided to take the large dose of Lantus (above 250 mg/kg in freedom glucose units). That is very high, consistent with someone whose diabetes is not under control in any way.
I think she doesn't measure her blood sugar often so the fact that she did at this particular time may mean she planned this whole thing in advance so as to be purposefully designated unable to fly. It seems unusual toiming for her to suddenly decide to be compliant with any aspects of her beetus management plan.
>I thought that would lower my blood sugar.
Everything you stated combined with that quote reads like she intentionally planned to pass out or have an episode.
