A man died following his diabetic wife injected him with insulin to teach him what it was like to have low blood sugar. The diabetic wife (59 years old) injected her husband with insulin following her husband described her disease as “benign.” She asked him to receive an insulin dose to prove this to her.

But her behavior took a turn for the worse when the husband was found unconscious in Côte d’Armor, France, on July 28, according to the Ouest-France newspaper. The man was taken to hospital, but he died within two weeks.

A police investigation then began, which charged the wife with attempted murder and placed her in pretrial detention. Saint-Brieuc prosecutor Nicola Hitz said: “His wife told the police that she had given him insulin the day before he went to bed without him objecting” in order to “reflect her feelings of hypoglycemia” because he had told her that he considered type 1 diabetes to be a benign disease. .

He added that she “called the firefighters when she woke up in the morning and noticed that her life partner was unconscious.” “It is clear that there was no argument that preceded the injection.”

It is not known at this time whether the woman is aware of the risks of injecting insulin into her partner, as type 1 diabetes causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to rise significantly. This occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin, which controls glucose.

According to the National Institutes of Health, uncontrolled use of insulin in a person without diabetes can lead to dangerous drops in blood sugar, which may be fatal. Severe low blood sugar can eventually lead to brain damage, heart attacks, and death.
