Something's up with this. You don't go into DKA and coma because you're unable to get to your insulin for a half-hour hop over. I smell a very large rat - either he went into hypoglycaemia (in which case insulin would be the last thing he would need) or he's been running hyperglycaemic for some time, which means he'd have ended up in a coma anyway.
