Diabetics don't tend to take insulin in a panic. If they are panicking, it's because they are already low, and need glucose (which can be administered in an injectable form, and is usually only used if the diabetic cannot be woken).
In my example the diabetic was passed out. Or like the with diabetics I've had to deal with, stubborn mule-like insistence they're fine! It's the people going into anaphylaxis that I think panic, for pretty good reason.
But it's just an example. My point was more that insulin is generally safer than epinephrine.
