Shakiness, confusion, and a devastating hunger. sweating and if left untreated hypoglycemic shock. absolutely miserable place to be, that is why diabetics who use insulin must carry honey or glucose tabs with them because it can be seriously life threatening if untreated. Get the person some juice immediately or some honey or a candy bar, quick elevate their blood sugar.

The question frames the answer. Do you mean an insulin peak? I think that this is what you mean by spike. An insulin peak in a normal person? This occurs only when the beta cells of the pancreas make too much insulin which is certainly not normal but it is very uncommon. An insulin peak in a diabetic? Ah this is what I think you are after and what happens is that their blood gluocse level will drop - the body will release gluocse from the liver - the gluocse will go up and down like a yo yo. If you have something else in mind please let me know.

If your insulin spiked wouldn't that cause a low blood sugar? I've been diabetic for 21 years now (since I was 14) & I've never heard this term. I know your insulin peeks after injection. I've heard the term "a spike in blood sugar". I hope you find the answer to your question.

nope. amount of food intake doesn't affect insulin production. however, there are medicines like sulfunylureas that help pancreas secrete more insulin.
