What sort of insulin did you inject, was it fast acting bolus? 20 units does sound like a brave correction dose to me, so do make sure you are testing frequently, have a bit of patience to give up your correction time to work (it will take longer than you want it to, but once it does start working it might drop you like a stone), drink lots of water & test for ketones if you can.</blockquote>
