Sigh. Found the X-Files ep that messes up on diabetes. Too much sugar leads to HYPERglycemia, not HYPOglycemia. As a medical doctor, Scully should have known that,

Also, in the 1990s, the FBI (along with most other government agencies) would not hire insulin dependent diabetics as investigative agents. They were sued in 2009 for violating the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 over refusing to hire a man because of his diabetes.

This is pretty big instance of Did Not Do The Research.
