insulin only cycle results.

Well obviously you will die if left untreated. Most hypoglycemic comas have been reversed. Your body actually will go into Glycogenolysis during the coma, maintaining a low but survivable blood glucose level. You would literally have to fast for 2 days, do an intense full body workout until complete failure and take 200-500 ius of insulin to die instantly in a hypoglycemic coma. How many ius of slow acting insulin do you think it would take to kill you? The only reported insulin suicided were done with multiple bottles of insulin in multiple injection sites throughout the body. This stuff does have the power to kill you, but it takes alot to surely do you in.

You're grossly underestimating the potency of insulin.
I just spent an hour last week with a team of nurses in a hospital room trying to bring a patient out of insulin shock (hovering in the 20s). He had only been given 14 IUs about 9 hours earlier and I guess they forgot to feed him. Glucagon barely helped him, and neither did a tube of oral glucose and several cups of fruit juice. We finally managed to get a patent IV line (he had the shittiest veins ever) and only after pushing half a tube of D-50 did he come around.

Take the following facts into account:
It takes around 8g of sugar to balance out 1 IU of insulin in someone who isn't insulin resistant.
You only have about 5g of glucose normally circulating in your bloodstream.
Glucagon release is antagonized by insulin, so the glycogen stored in your liver will be of little use.
A hypoglycemic coma is not the only danger, as hypoglycemia can also cause vomiting (so you die from aspiration), seizures (which can kill you due to hypoxia), and even sudden cardiac arrest.

So please stop with the wild claims of how safe insulin is.
We should really change your username to "insulinstooge".
