This is not how insulin works
Insulin machines are real. They have been around since the 70s and the are called pumps. Contemporary insulin machines are the size of a cell phone and are worn around the clock. They deliver doses of insulin on a programmed schedule. Each fast acting dose is active for around 90 minutes.
When completely without Insulin, a diabetic will likely become ill within 12-24 hours and may become critically ill within 24-48 hours, however, many would survive for several days or even weeks.
No one dies within an hour from lack of insulin. It isn't possible. Just like you wouldn't die without drinking for an hour - it takes 3 days to die from thirst.
Too much insulin on the other hand... now THAT can be lethal within the hour.
This is basic knowledge of the condition and the writers lacked it.
