Take her to the hospital... she may need to be observed by a doctor before allowing her to go to sleep, especially if her blood suger is still very high. And if the insulin dose does what it is supposed to combined with her not eating her blood sugar could fall very low. Either one can induce a diabetic coma.
It's very important... you really should take her to the ER!

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Don't medicate your friend! Giving insulin could be fatal. You don't know how much she took and when. Alcohol raises blood sugar but having too much insulin can cause her to go into shock,heart stopping and kidney failure. As soon as you read this, call 911 !!!

first of all calm down.
her sugar in high because of the alcohol
so just keep an eye on her and make sure that you give her plenty of water and maybe a Tylenol or two
wake her periodically if it would make you feel better
and have confidence that you gave her the right amount of insulin
