A question: What do I do if I wear fast insulin by error instead of the slow?

@"Marybe Days" I have been 17 years old and I had never happened to me, but if it happens to me again I will do the same.I prefer to be in the hospital with vein glucose than at home controlling and eating endless.The dose of more influences the decision is not the same 8 fast q 22 of ultrarapida.I prefer to overcome without drinking 10 cocacolas: p (would be enough ???)

I'm going to tell you.What happened to me last day 25
I put myself 30 from Novorapid instead of 30 of Lantus and I went to bed, at 3.30
I get up and take two tablespoons of sugar dissolved in water along with half chocolate tablet and go to bed again.
At 5 in the morning I wake up again and do the same operation having the glucose in 52 then put a glucagon.
I woke up at 10 with a 94 measurement

@Jmjpn, it is not advisable to put glucagon if you have not called an ambulance before.If you put it on it and you still do not get the glucose, unless they put glucose for vein you have chungo.

Coca-Cola also could be a solution ... A Coca Cola for every three fast?

I have no idea @regina how much a cocacola uploads, but I never have at home so I could not manage

@Regina 30u slow between 3 = 10 cans from Coca Cola, in one way or another you finish in the hospital: D

: D: D: D.

Hello!It happened to me with 17 years, I set 22 fast instead of the Lantus, in the morning.The truth is that my mother and my head did not go to the hospital first because I quickly put it to solve it, I took 5 glasses of water each with 20 grams of sugar and caramelos, and when theInsulin effect (I reached 40) a croissant reward for stress :).And of course that morning I ran out of the institute.
It has not happened to me again, I have the slow and the rapid in different places.If it happened to me right now it would not be so serious because I only put on 11 slowly.If I had to advise someone if I would tell you to go to the hospital, if you are close.To my people the ambulances sometimes take up to 2 hours to arrive ...

The confusion of insulins and units can become dangerous .... so friends, the one who can and has access to it, I recommend very much insulin pump.To a firefighter that will never happen ... (only fast insulin is used)

Well, I put 48 of Lantus ...

In the end it depends on the units and how reactions, you can believe that you have it under control and it is not so, or vice versa ...

I had the most of the ... pussy if I have not punctured!Or ... how many have I put in the end?

A couple of times I have confused myself and one of them ate what I caught and everything in order, the other realized in the middle of the puncture, in half I stayed more or less ... I tried to press the skin to leave the insulinAnd don't enter anymore!

In the end it depends, but I think the important thing is not to be alone and already, if you are alone, call you because you can go the pot in a moment, I once got up without "knowing how to speak" and it was the low one that I was... or some night that wakes me up, I try to throw a glass of anything and do something totally different ... things of the descents ... 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Well I the other day instead of putting the bolus apidra I put me 6 of Tresiba, that is, 14 + 6. I was worried about the 24 hours.I had no hypoglycemia.It seemed very strange.

Is that Ma Tresiba has no peak because of that you have not noticed the difference

It happened to me instead of putting me 8 of Tresiba I put me 8 quickly before bed I calculated the amount of hydrates that I had to eat to compensate I took some rapid absorption and some slow and nothing happened.The serious thing is not to find out about error and get in bed because it may be that you no longer get up and enter into a coma and if you reach 0 cardiac arrest and death.

Hello friends:
After reading all the comments I spend my case.
I think that each case is different, since in mine I have diagnosed type 2 diabetes, start with oral medications until I reach insulin, I have a resistance to this brutal, that is to say almost an insulin unit by ration of carbohydratesSometimes much more.
On three occasions I have put myThe glucometer and I saw that I had it in 112 I already fell asleep, the second and the third I took half a glass of water with two tablespoons of sugar and I got up with 96 and another with 112.
This is my case

It has only happened to me on one occasion and I did not hesitate to take three or four sugar and an orange juice and went to the emergency department.
I put on a fast ultra.
If it happens again I will do the same.

Well, I would suggest that you better pay attention and create strategies not to be wrong.When I administer insulin, stop doing anything else and concentrate on what I am doing.My children already know that they shouldn't talk to me at that time.And another thing, to the fast insulin I always put the bottle with a red adhesive tape, and as I manage before meals and the slow night, there is no possibility of error.

good,

If for a case instead of putting on the 20 units of insulin lantus that corresponds to me every night I am wrong and I put 20 of fast insulin (Apidra) what would I have to do?

I have been told to put the glucagon but I don't know if it will be enough to counteract the 20 Us of fast insulin.

Thank you!.

I want to think that this is a hypothetical case, because of the way you raise it, but that could never happen to me since the lantus is a gray pen and the fast is an orange pen (novorapid), and if it comes to happen to meFull to the sugary soft drinks that I have in the fridge saved for my hypos, greetings.

Being liquid ... Could you take so much?

Start eating quick hydrates.And glucagon or emergency call if it is a lot of insulin dose.
The most dangerous thing is not to realize the mistake.

Of course, it has happened to me when I have hypoglycemia at night, I take a complete coca-cool of 1lt.
