Narrative:

I was #2 flight attendant. A man came up to me and said 'dad is dizzy, can I have some oxygen?' I gave him oxygen, and a couple of mins later he came back to me and said, 'dad isn't responding.' I asked if he was diabetic. He said 'no, he hasn't been feeling well lately.' I went and put the cart away and went to the man in seat xy. He was not responding, was very clammy, but had a pulse. I got oxygen and he came out of it. In the meantime, I called the cockpit and told them of the situation, and we diverted to phx.
