Any ever had a severe insulin reaction? Blackout?
I found myself in my nightgown at 2am, no shoes, no purse, no glasses, being stopped for OUI.. No memory between 1 drink hours before and seeing the blue lights.. I had gone to bed 2 or 3 hours before this happened. Like being abducted by aliens and finding myself waking up somewhere I couldn't explain. I have a CLEAN driving history and am in my 50's so this REALLY wasn't normal! I had just resumed insulin THAT DAY after normalized sugars for a couple years. Maybe ate, maybe didn't.. Worked hard that day.
Answers:
No I havent had this happen personally but I have treated a few patients in the field that had these reactions..sounds like the sugars in the drink.plus the start up of the insulin again are your culprits.but you need to talk to your doctor TODAY about what happened and get it documented.they may drop the charges or they may not.for example I treated a guy who had been stooped for the same reasons but he got aggressive with the officers and bit one of them.he was arrested after I had checked his glucose(reading was in 40's) gave him D50 and he resumed normal mental status and glucose levels..I had explained to the police that he medically didnt know what he was doing..but because he bit them that didnt matter in the eyes of the law..it was then up to the judge whether or not the charges would stand.

isn't insulin for people with diabetes, oh kevin covais has diabetes.poor him
Sounds improbable.
A severe insulin reaction wouldn't normalize itself on its own.
More likely you'd lapse into a coma.

minx64 has offered some intelligent words. I might also add that the best thing for anyone taking insulin is to know your body and always, always, pay attention when something feels strange. Don't second guess yourself. If you feel strange get yourself some juice and check your sugar. I have had insulin dependent diabetes for 26 years. I was 9 when I was first diagnosed. Year after year my symptoms for low blood sugars change. Everything from sweating to being unable to mentally focus; getting snippy to crying; feeling extremely tired to bouncing like a childs ball. There are SO many things that can effect blood sugars and not everyone is the same. New medications, stress, change of environment, infections, change in eating habits, lack of exercise, too much exercise, lack of sleep, etc. all have an impact on my sugar levels. I check my sugar at least 4 times a day and still have extreme lows some times. I hope your doctor can give you some help and maybe even offer something that can help with the ticket. By the way, a low blood sugar CAN level out on its own. Mine have dropped to below 30 and started to level out. I have also slipped into unconsciousness and woken up enough to get juice and call my husband. Diabetes is very much an "individual" disease. No two diabetics are exactly the same and no one can really tell you how your body will react and to exactly what triggers. You are your own best source when it comes to your body. Take care.
