Let me focus on one side of the coin- too much insulin. This can lead to drastically lowered glucose levels, causing organ failure & quite possibly death.
On the other hand, a sudden influx of carbohydrates can render the insulin level to be lower than 'therapeutic', in short the insulin isn't effective. This & other questions can be answered best by your family Doctor or a Nutritionist/Dietitian.

What happens in there is less secretion of insulin?
High blood sugar (glucose) levels in the blood are the number one reaction to a decrease in insulin secretion.However, lack of insulin secretion over time can also contribute to an individual obtaining Diabetes.Therecan also be spillage of keytones into the urine (which disrupts pH levels in the blood) from lack of insulin. These keytones can contribute to ketoacidosis which can cause coma or even death.Excessive urination and thirst are also effects of lack of insulin secretion due to the raise of blood sugar.
Why is cow insulin a good substitue for human insulin?
Insulin from pigs or cows can cause immune reactions in some people, or people may develop an allergy to the insulin over time and it will be ineffective. Human insulin is not immunogenic and so is preferred.
