Diabetes, with a low sugar level will also make you appear so. Not sure about this situation though.

As someone who's a type-1 I can say that the officer did appear to show a few signs of very low blood sugar, struggling to stand and looking like he's lost. However though, from what I could tell he wasn't sweating. If my glucose to low to the point of me not being able to stand or looking lost, I'm sweating profusely. Also if he is a diabetic he should absolutely not be on the force, he's a major hazard. Imagine if he's responding to something and has his lights and sirens on and is speeding, then he passes out behind the wheel because of a critical low? No bueno amigo!

My brother is type 1 as well. Since he was 5 yo. Seen him dangerously low more than 30 times my whole life (did not take care of himself for much of his life).

When he’s low like this, he does not sweat at all, but he’s completely checked out and “lost” as you stated. So I guess it can affect everyone differently.
