Depends upon how many units were administered, and what the victims’ BSLs were at the time.
Insulin lowers BSL (blood sugar level); therefore they’d probably have a hypoglycemic event. It’s bad; I’ve been thru 5 since May 1st, when I was first diagnosed.
I take 4-8 units of Novolog (quick acting, short lasting) at breakfast/lunch/dinner on a sliding BSL scale after blood test, and 8 units of Lantus (slow acting, long lasting) at bedtime, also on a sliding BSL scale.
Sucks to be me.
