Which is a sure way to find yourself in a hypoglycemic coma.

Inhalable insulin (which is also very fast acting) iirc only allows a dose of 2 units. If your sugars are 400mg/dl (22ish mmol/l) one or two doses wouldn't put you into a coma if you knew your sensitivity. I'm pretty sure I've read up T1s talking about using it as such.
Sudden drops of the blood glucose level aren't good for health.
