Answers:
Dying, No, Basically, your Friend has gone into a "diabetic coma", This is nothing like a regular coma, A diabetic coma is when someone with diabetes has had a very low blood sugar and passed out!. Either form to much excise (running around, excitement, etc) or from to much Insulin!. A diabetic is brought out of the coma easily so there is nothing you should worry about, she should be fine in no time!.
As for your friend's mother, as you said 'nothing has ever seriously happened', so this is their first time they have experienced something like this and are very worried, it's something that will pass!.
So in short
Friend will defiantly NOT DIE

Her Mom is frustrated and is using you as a punching bag, like it is your fault that this happened, because she feels that you should have pressured your friend to take her illness more seriously!. In reality, Mom is as guilty as you, but the real culprit is the patient, a victim of her own neglect!. Just give Mom some time to calm down and adjust to the situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
her mom is going thru some things and she is worried about her daughter/your friend thats her baby so she is scared that she might lose her dont take it personally most likely she will let you visit when she feels its better give her time and really pray for your friend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Maybe ask your mum is she knows something about this and talk about it but if she doesn't you should tell your mum to help ask since its you best friend her mum will probably let you know when something serious happens

i think that she will be alright and that she took too much lantis!. if that is the case she will be out in prob!. a week!. Parents have the tendancy 2 over react!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Diabetics can go into a coma when sugar levels are very low, or, very high (type 2s tend to have them more often from high sugars)!. It is a serious problem, either way!.
You didn't say wether your friend was in control of her illness, or even if she was taking any medications (why people assume she's taking lantis just shows how little they know or how carelessly they read a question)!.
If your friend was not in control of her diabetes, the long hospital stay may just be that she is being treated and educated about the problem so that she understands the dangers and will be more proactive in taking care of herself!.
High sugar comas are less likely than low sugar comas to result in death, especially when treated quickly, however, it can cause other serious problems which may account for the long hospital stay!. It's also possible there is more involved than just diabetes!.
You didn't say how old you are!. Many hospitals limit the number and age of visitors as a general rule, and especially for some patients where their condition, on going treatment, or having guests may be stressful for both the patient and guest!. Parents may also want to limit guests for similar reasons!.
Chances are, the mother is upset and taking it out on everybody related to the incident, regardless of whether or not they could have done anything to prevent it!. She's scared and angry!. That's a normal reaction, all things considered, and may continue for some time!. Some families prefer to deal with these kinds of issues alone, without the constant inquiries of others!. It's okay to be concerned and want to know what's happening, but this really is a private matter for the family!.
Yor mother may not have any more information than you do, she may be withholding the information out of respect and privacy for your friend's family, or, she may not want to upset you with the details!. That's what parents do!. Don't be mad because of it!. Even when their own children are adults, they may not disclose information for similar reasons!.
Also, when we are upset and want information that isn't available, we tend to think people are hiding that informatin from us when in fact they may not have any information!. That's a normal reaction, too!. When there is news, your mother will probably tell you!.
