Mundane Information:

In Case of Court

I am a diabetic. Closing courts typically over-run most people's dinner time. I need to do a blood glucose test before evening court and eat snacks during court. People close to me usually give me a prod to make sure I do these things because I get easily distracted at events. If you know I will be called into court, please make sure I do a blood glucose test in advance.
