I agree. You are very unlikely to go hypo with something Lantus, Levemir, Tresiba. However something like humalog much more so. Worst that ever happened to me was I got a bit sweaty, shaky, and really damn hungry. Popped a regular cola, something I never do, and felt better very quickly.I know how glucagon works but IF IM NOT MISTAKEN I had read the person in question used a longer acting insulin like Lantus ( I might be wrong) 300 units Rapid that peaks in +-15 mins will PROBABLY out pace and over run any amount of glucagon your liver can release in that time frame .. Just speculating here of course ... anyways these are needles in a haystack ... you know what I was trying to deliver with my original statement that the devil is in the dose and misuse ...
It was because I was dumb and took a bit too much. Either way probably shouldn't mess with insulin until someone has experience and then start off slow until you see how you respond. I guess the whole point is that while it is not safe, it is unlikely to actually kill you under normal circumstances like the info that used to get passed around.
