[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 18675, member: 7788"] I've accidentally overdosed myself a few times. A couple of times when I started on Lantus, I was using a vial and syringe. The worst time I took my Humalog(purple) vial from the fridge instead of my Lantis(purple) vial. I had recently changed to Lantus, and it was the first time I had used a clear long-acting. I took over 30 units of Humalog,thinking it was Lantus, my usual dose was 4 units! I realised straight away what i had done, and got my husband to take me to casualty. They were very good and put me on a glucose drip straight away. I still had to stuff my face with chocolate and lucozade, and it was still going dangerously low. They monitored me well and let me go after bout 6 hours. It was bloody scary, and they kept querying whether it was accidental! I made a stupid, but not so dangerous error with my long-acting last week. I took 22 units instead of 12 units one evening last week. I was ok though, I just cut out my evening humalog and I was fine. Still bit scary though! Jus [/QUOTE]
