VERY difficult to do. It would help if you had witnesses who could testify as to your condition and actions at the time you were taken into custody. Actually the only time I've ever seen this charge successfully defended was when the arrestee was able to prove that he was a registered diabetic and was suffering a diabetic reaction.
