Writing a paper and have questions about diabetes and insulin.?

This might sound kind of bad, so I'm going to start this with I am not trying to kill myself.... Its a paper for abnormal psychology and I have to write about someone with diabetes (Type 1) and major depression... , so first how many units is a normal dose of fast acting insulin?, how many units of fast acting insulin would cause an average sized person to go into insulin shock? and about how long would it take for them to go unconscious. I've tried to find info about insulin but it is pretty confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ok, i'll try to clarify.. About how many units would a normal sized person take for eating an averaged size meal when their blood sugar about normal? vs. How much would cause them to go unconscious? and about how long it would take before they went into a coma?
