The notion that you can kill a person with diabetes by hacking their insulin pump is absurdly ridiculous. I can't think of an insulin pump that does not have a setting to limit the maximum bolus. In addition, the setting typically has a sane value and is enabled by default. Further, when a pump is setup with a doctor/nurse practitioner, this value is set to number that is tuned to the person with diabetes. There is also feedback when the pump is delivering insulin. I know this is the case with Animas and Medtronic pumps.
So even if someone got in range, had your serial number, knew the protocol and attempted an insane dosage, the worst that would happen is someone didn't notice the delivery feedback and hit the max bolus. While this would be worst case breach, it is not lethal. Within an hour, the victim will feel hypoglycemic, check their blood glucose and correct it.
