H @dmcx3x It doesn't matter how you ended up there...
Clearly you have grounds for a complaint about the unacceptable treatment you received at the police station and you should proceed with that. However I do not understand why you delayed taking your insulin. Every T1D should carry some form of glucose on them to counteract a hypo. I carry glucotabs and glucogel.
Do you get a warning that you are becoming hypoglyceamic? I get a tingling feeling in my lips and now my left leg and sometimes my fingers. I also cannot recall the right word. If I am walking I might stumble or not walk in a straight line. Such warnings must not be ignored. Glucose tablets gradually restore your glucose levels.
For your blood glucose to rise so high you must have consumed something or else you had been without insulin for some considerable time. As T1Ds we are ultimately responsible for ourselves and have to anticipate any potential problems. You simply cannot delay taking insulin. The rapid acting insulins only act for a limited time. Once that time has run out your blood glucose levels will rise and rise rapidly. Maybe you need to speak to your GP or diabetes nurse in order to be able to gain better control of your condition.

Does a police officer have to give you their name and ID if asked?
"Yes. If you were to ask me for my name and the station that I work. I can also give you an individual collar number

Well, laws in Australia demand it
Why were you pulled over? Breath test? What?
I have always found that it pays not to answer a question with a question, such as "what is your name", with "what's yours".Well, laws in Australia demand it

"Move along, nothing to see here."
"OK".
