I believe so. I've seen it in a movie: The Accountant. Also ...
  • Forty cases of fatal insulin overdose were identified in South Australia between 2000 and 2019 with an average of two deaths per year.
  • Twenty-three deaths occurred at the home address of the decedent, nine in hospital, less than five at places of accommodation (hotel, motel etc.), and less than five on public property. At the death scene, a suicide note was found in 19 cases.
  • Of the 40 cases where insulin overdose was implicated in the cause of death, 33 were attributed to insulin toxicity alone (82.5%) and the remaining seven cases were attributed to mixed drug toxicity. For cases where the cause of death was recorded as mixed drug toxicity, the drugs that were co-administered and considered contributory to the death were most often benzodiazepine sedatives (e.g., diazepam and alprazolam), antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline and venlafaxine), and one case with co-administration of the semi-synthetic narcotic analgesic, hydromorphone.

Severe symptoms of hypoglycemia, sometimes referred to as diabetic shock or insulin shock, include: confusion, seizures, difficulty seeing clearly, and unconsciousness.
