She slurred her order. The worker knew it was diabetes and ran.

A Burger King employee in Amarillo, Texas, ran out of the restaurant with a small serving of ice cream after noticing a diabetic customer slurring through her order. Rebecca Boening, who has diabetes, was driving on the highway when her blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level and pulled off at the nearest exit. She managed to say she was diabetic and needed food. Tina Hardy heard it. By the time Boening reached the window, Hardy was squeezing between the car and the building with the ice cream, fast-acting sugar being exactly what doctors recommend. Hardy, whose husband is also diabetic, told Boening to park across the driveway so she could keep an eye on her. "I honestly, at first, didn't know who she was or what she was doing," Boening wrote. Hardy had worked there about six months and feared she would lose her job. Instead the two now talk every day.
