Missed Dose

Do not double the next dose. Check your blood sugar and follow the plan your doctor gave you for missed doses.

Overdose

Too much insulin causes low blood sugar. Take glucose, sugar or a sweet drink immediately, then eat; seek emergency help if the person is drowsy or unconscious.

Seek urgent help for severe low blood sugar (confusion, fits, fainting) or a widespread allergic reaction.

Precautions & Warnings
