Cold sweat, trembling hands, intense anxiety, and general confusion - are signs of hypoglycemia. Your doctor may call this hypoglycemia. It usually happens when you inject too much insulin.

 Hypoglycemia occurs in many people with diabetes. It could be serious. Fortunately, you can avoid most insulin problems by following a few simple rules.

 How to avoid mistakes

 Some things can bring excess insulin into your system. This usually happens when:

 If you misread a syringe or vial: This can happen easily if you are new to the new product.

 Are you using the wrong type of insulin: Let's say you take 30 units of long-acting insulin and 10 units of short-acting insulin. It's easy to mix them up. Receive

  Do not eat but not insulin: Injections of fast-acting and short-acting insulin should be given just before or with a meal. After a meal, the blood sugar level rises. Taking fast-acting or short-acting insulin without food can lower sugar to dangerous levels.

 Inject insulin into your arm or leg just before exercising. Physical activity lowers blood sugar levels and can change the way the body absorbs insulin. Inject into an area unaffected by exercise.

 Symptoms of insulin overdose

 If your blood sugar is low due to an insulin overdose, you may have the following symptoms:

•  anxiety
•  confusion, confusion
•  extreme hunger
•  weakness
•  hypersensitivity
•  Sweat and sticky skin
•  Handshake
•  If your blood sugar continues to drop, you may have a seizure or pass out.

 What should you do if you have an overdose on insulin?

 Do not panic. Most insulin overdoses can be treated at home. If possible, follow these steps:

 Check your blood sugar level. You need to know where to start.

 Drink half a glass of regular soda or sweet juice, eat sugar or prepare a glucose paste, tablet, or gel.

 If you miss a meal, eat now. Those with 15 to 20 grams of carbohydrates should raise blood sugar.

 Get up and take a break.

 Check your blood sugar again after 14 or 20 minutes. If it's still low, take 15 to 20 grams of faster-acting sugar and eat it whenever possible.

 Keep the mood in mind for the next few hours. If you still have symptoms, recheck your sugar one hour after eating. Keep snacking when the sugar is low.

 See your doctor if your blood sugar remains low after 2 hours or if your symptoms do not improve.

 You don't have to worry about the sugar getting too high, even for a short time. High levels won't hurt you, but very low levels can.

 If you are unconscious, very confused, or having a seizure, you need to be controlled by those around you. Give these instructions to your family and friends:

If you lose consciousness, call 911 immediately. They may need to inject you with something called glucagon. It is an insulin antidote. If you are prone to hypoglycemia, talk to your doctor about having glucagon at home. If you're careful enough to follow the directions, they should give you a sweet juice to drink. If your symptoms do not improve steadily within the next hour, you should call 911.

How to prevent an insulin overdose?

 There are things you can do to prevent an overdose:

 Maintain a consistent schedule. It is much easier to continue the course.

 Eat something at every meal. Eat bread, skim milk, or a small amount of fruit, even if you're not hungry. Do not skip meals while taking insulin.

 Please prepare. At some point, insulin complications are expected to occur. Put candy in your and your partner's bags. Also, put something in your car or travel bag.

 Make sure your friends and family know how you react to hypoglycemia. If your hypoglycemia is confusing you, it will help you take action.

 Wear a medical alert bracelet. Make sure you use insulin.
