what happens if your not a diabetic and get injected with insulin?

Answer 1

Hypoglycemia=rapid pulse. shallow breathing,cold damp skin, faint or unconscious, head ace confo
usion trembling stagering . feed them sugar and see a doctor.

Answer 2

We actually had this incident at the summer camp for children with diabetes, when one of the campers injected his insulin into the non-diabetic counselor. It was a rather touch-and-go incident, as she kept suffering drops in her glucose levels (hypoglycemia), and was constantly drinking orange juice and eating simple carbs and complex carbs to try and keep her levels up. Forgive the pun, but it's quite a shock to the systme when added insulin from an injection is introduced into a metabolism that is functioning and adjusting to intake of glucose, as the body cannot readily compensate for the sudden infusion of foreign insulin.

Answer 3

They would probably end up having a low sugar attack as they would have way too much insulin in their body. This could really cause problems and if they are non-diabetic, then people around them probably also would not know what to do to help them.

Answer 4

I was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, but if you do get extra insulin, your blood sugar might drop. It depends on how much you are injected with.

Answer 5

that depends on the dose, a non-diabetic injected with insulin risks insulin shock, which can be fatal.

Answer 6

Actually, you do NOT get a sugar rush. Just the opposite -- your blood sugar can get dangerously low (diabetic hypoglycemia) and you can go into a coma.

Answer 7

Insulin shock, could go into coma, or be killed.

Answer 8

keep in mind :

too much insulin (shock)
too much sugar (coma)

either one can be fatal
