OK, if it weren't based on total ignorance of diabetes

Rating: 1/10 (28 October 2002)

Unbelievable how little 'research' is done for multi-million-dollar productions these days! Given the fact that about 5 to 10 percent of the American people suffer from diabetes, it shouldn't be that difficult to get a few facts straight.
Diabetics DO NOT die or display symptoms as suggested in the movie if they don't get enough insulin! A lack of insulin only causes a high blood sugar level (so-called hyperglycemia), which is harmless unless sustained for years. Instead, the opposite, i.e., a low blood sugar level, will cause the symptoms shown (hypoglycemia). That condition, however, is not life threatening and can easily be cured by eating some food.
Unfortunately, the whole plot collapses if you consider these facts. That pretty much spoiled the whole movie for me.
