Am I Someone's Keeper???

I have someone that lives in my house with me that is diabetic. Diabetes is a disease were the person's pancreas stops working, or is weakened. The job of the pancreas is to moderate a person's glucose/sugar level. If a diabetic doesn't eat sugar for awhile, there sugar will drop. If their sugar drops far enough, they will faint, and eventually pass out. when they faint, you have to put sugar into there mouths fast. there have been many times  were i have had to poor sugar, orange juice, candy, down her mouth so we don't have to call 911, and really risk her life. Ive gotten pretty used to doing this; but sometimes she faints in the middle of the night, and that's when it becomes scary. Even though i am asleep, by the grace of God, I awake for some reason and get her sugar up. So sometimes, I guess you can say I'm a keeper.
