If she is truly a diabetic, she is really comitting suicide, because diabetics HAVE to have a certain amount of food a day with carbohydrates or they will go into a diabetic coma and die....

I say IF....because I am skeptical.

I don't think that's true... That would apply only if she were tasking insulin. Most diabetics have type II. If she was type I and cut out the insulin dhe'd still be OK.di

that's not completely true--type 1 diabetics require insulin, or they'll go into a coma from high blood sugar. (A friend of mine died in high school from this.) A lack of carbs, combined with too much insulin, will cause blood sugar to plummet, which causes an insulin reaction (also called insulin shock). So it's dangerous on both ends, but only a lack of insulin will send a person into a coma.
