If you have used more than you should
If you inject too much insulin, your blood sugar level may become too low (hypoglycaemia), see information in the «Side effects» category under «Low blood sugar».
If you have forgotten to use
If you forget to inject your insulin, your blood sugar level may become too high (hyperglycaemia). See the «Side effects» category under «High blood sugar.»
With three simple rules you can avoid the occurrence of low or high blood sugar:
Always carry a spare syringe and a spare vial with you.
Always carry something with you that identifies you as a diabetic.
Always carry sugary products with you. See the «Side Effects» category under «What to do if your blood sugar level gets too low.»
If you cancel the application
Do not stop your insulin therapy without talking to your doctor. Stopping your insulin could lead to very high blood sugar levels (severe hyperglycaemia) and ketoacidosis (an over-acidification of the blood that can be life-threatening). For symptoms and instructions, see the «Side effects» category under «High blood sugar.»
