Insulin question.

[Steff]

I have just bumped into one of my neighbours and i discovered he is type 1 , he was saying to me he had to go into hospital thursday i said ohh funny you should say that so did i 🙄, anyway he got onto the bus and keeled over and somehow fractured his skull hairline fracture he said so thats how he ended up in hospital, well i asked him why he thought it happened and he said that morning he injected his arm and the cartridge ran out and he was supposed to take 26 untis but only took 16, could this short of short fall caused him to keel over on the bus ?, I dont know what type he is on or anything as he did not go into detail.

Taking more insulin is what you'd expect to cause a problem. Of course, he may have only taken a smaller dose of insulin than normal but forgot to eat or had not enough carb for breakfast.

Yes that is bizarre. I agree with Rawtalent, it should be the other way around ie too much insulin.
