Exercise 13

Let's revisit Maria's case. She is a 35-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic who currently takes good care of herself. She did not take good care of herself as a teenager. She is on an insulin pump to try to control her blood sugar, but has recently passed out in public several times.
Given that she has been a diabetic for so long, why doesn't Maria realize she is in trouble before she passes out
