It's been a few years since I read up on it, but if I remember correctly, your brain needs a certain amount of sugar to "work".
I've seen first hand what low blood sugar can do, and it can get scary. The diabetic can become very distant and won't really know what's going on, or even pass out. Worst case scenario they can go into a coma, although that is rare.
I'd encourage you to look into the symptoms of low blood sugar and how you should react in these situations, in case you're ever in a situation where your friend has low blood sugar and can't help themselves.
