The commentary for ''[[Funny/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries Rainbow Dash Presents: Bittersweet]]'' notes that a diabetic trying to sugar themselves to death would take hours, if not days, and due to how [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_ketoacidosis the serious illness]] that would result from it works[[note]]Which in short [[BodyHorror involves the body basically]] ''[[BodyHorror eating itself]]'', and was in fact considered [[ThereIsNoCure a horror condition with a near-certain death rate]] before widespread insulin treatment became available from the 1920s onward[[/note]], would be [[CruelAndUnusualDeath an absolutely horrific way to go]]. That, and diabetics ''can'' safely consume foods with carbs and sugar much the same as anyone else, as long as factors like exercise, diet, their current blood glucose levels, and the required insulin to take are all accounted for.
