5. This is what is called an ideal intervention moment

contact the facility once you know where it is, and ask to have her have a serious conversation with the RD, as well as medical personnel. As in a one on one with a diabetes educator.

Being in critical condition usually is a good scare. Aspergers could complicate matters as in she does not see this is as a serious crisis, but usually being admited to the hospital in pretty serious shape is a wake up call. We used to use these crisis when I was a medic to reach people. Did it work all the time? Nope, but it did work some of the time.
