Yes, it was tried before discovery of insulin. Here's a long thread with many links to other sources about how it worked and it's poor effectiveness. Basically, vast majority of people died. I'll stick with insulin.
Also, if you want to read a really good account of this, the book Breakthrough: Elizabeth Hughes, the Discovery of Insulin, and the Making of Medical Miracle is fantastic.
Loved this book:
