Insulin is an important hormone used in medical treatments for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It helps the body's cells to properly absorb sugar. Insulin is a lifesaving medication when taken correctly, but an insulin overdose can have some serious side effects. This article explores signs of insulin overdose to look out for, as well as steps to take to avoid insulin overdoses. Contents of this article: Safe vs. unsafe insulin doses There are a few things to consider to ensure a correct insulin dose. Insulin doses can vary greatly from person to person. The normal dose for one person may be considered an overdose for another. Basal insulin The insulin needed to keep the blood sugar steady throughout the day is called basal insulin. The amount of insulin needed changes from person to person based on what time of day they take it, and whether their body is resistant to insulin or not. It is best to consult a doctor to figure out the appropriate basal insulin dosage. Mealtime insulin Mealtime insulin is insulin that is taken after a meal. Glucose (sugar) is released into the bloodstream as the body breaks down food, which raises the blood sugar levels. In people with diabetes, this extra sugar must be met with extra insulin so the body can use it properly. There are a few different factors to be considered in terms of the mealtime insulin levels. People with diabetes have to consider: their pre-meal blood sugar how many carbs are in the food they are eating if they plan to do anything active after the meal Then they must factor in their own level of insulin sensitivity and the blood sugar target they want to hit after the insulin is taken. The process can be complicated and, as such, there is room for error. Other variables There are also a few different types of Continue reading >>
Before the discovery of insulin, diabetes was a death sentence. People couldn’t use the nutrients in their food and would become thin and malnourished. Managing the condition required a strict diets and reduced carbohydrate intake. Still, these measures weren’t enough to reduce mortality. In the early 1920s, Canadian surgeon Dr. Frederick Banting and medical student Charles Best discovered that insulin could help normalize blood sugar levels. Their discovery garnered them the Nobel Prize and allowed people with diabetes to live a much longer and healthier life. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 12 percent of adults with diabetes take insulin only, and 14 percent take both insulin and an oral medication. Taken as prescribed, insulin is a lifesaver. However, too much of it can cause significant side effects and sometimes death. While some people may use excessive amounts of insulin intentionally, many others take too much insulin by accident. No matter the reason for the overdose, an insulin overdose needs to be treated immediately. Even with proper treatment, it can become a medical emergency. Like all medications, you need to take insulin in the right amounts. The right dosage will provide benefit without harm. Basal insulin is the insulin that keeps your blood sugar steady all day. The correct dosage for it depends on many things, such the time of day and if you are insulin resistant. For mealtime insulin, the correct dosage depends on factors such as: your fasting or premeal blood sugar level the carbohydrate content of the meal any activity planned after your meal your insulin sensitivity your target postmeal blood sugar goals Insulin medications also come in different types. Some are fast-acting and will work within about 15 minutes. S Continue reading >>
Sandra Speck was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the death of her daughter with Type 1 and other special needs. Less than a month after an Ohio woman was arrested and accused of giving her daughter an insulin overdose, another Ohio woman pleaded guilty for giving her daughter with Type 1 and other special needs a fatal amount of insulin. sponsor According to a News-Herald report, Sandra Speck of Eastlake, Ohio pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2016 death of her daughter, Mindy. Ms. Speck originally faced a murder charge after confessing to giving her daughter the overdose, but she and prosecutors struck a plea deal for her to plead guilty to the lesser charge. Scheduled to be sentenced on June 19th, she could received anything from probation to 11 years in prison. Read: Parents who withheld insulin guilty of first-degree murder All we know of Mindy’s death comes from Sandra’s confession of the crime. Mindy, who was 21 at the time she died, had Type 1 diabetes, autism, and cerebral palsy. The day before her death, she was treated at a local hospital for a urinary tract infection, and Sandra said she had become violent and difficult to control because of high glucose levels. After an insulin injection, Mindy was still combative, so Sandra gave her daughter several more injections; eventually, Mindy lost consciousness. Sandra did not attempt to revive her, saying she went to sleep next to her daughter. Sandra had no prior criminal record at the time she committed the crime, and she was considered a model caregiver, according to her lawyer. Of course, it’s impossible to know if Sandra had ever used insulin to control her daughter before the fatal incident occurred.
