What would a vegetarian diabetic do?

Well, it of course depends on the kind of vegetarian.  Vegetarians for  health
reasons  would,  I imagine, take the insulin.  An "ethical" vegetarian such as
myself (I believe killing animals is bad) would be compelled *not* to take the
insulin.   Of  course,  when faced with a life & death situation, morals often
fall by the wayside.  I would hope that I wouldn't weaken.
