Insulin Overdose: Risks, Symptoms & What to Do

If you take too much insulin, your blood sugar levels can drop dangerously low, leading to a condition called hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

Shakiness

Sweating

Hunger

Nausea

Dizziness

Confusion

Seizures

Loss of consciousness

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to eat something sugary, like candy or juice, immediately. If your symptoms are severe, you should call 911 or go to the emergency room.

Taking too much insulin can be very serious and can even lead to death. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully when taking insulin and to monitor your blood sugar levels closely.
