| I've never heard of insulin causing a stroke. It sounds like your mother was pretty much already there when she started the insulin.
As for going low while you sleep, I suppose it can happen, but it is extraordinarily rare for you to die from it. The newer insulins are much better than what your 91 year old grandma would have used, and you will work hard to come up with a routine that works for your body. I would bring your concerns up with your doctor when/if they decide to start you on insulin.
