A patient may. If they do throw up it would be because of the body's reaction to hypoglycemia, not because of the physical injection of insulin.
I've heard different stories on it, but have never asked my endo about it. From what I've read it is when the body secrets large ammount of glucagon to pull the sugar out of hypoglycemia, that some people experience vomitting.
Just remember that everyone has different hypoglycemia symptoms, so if it's you, or someone you know, make sure you know how you/they react when your/their BG is too high or too low.

How do you treated a patient that has been giving too much insulin?
When to much insulin is administered, the treatment depends on how large the dose of insulin is and how low the patient's blood sugar is. For patients with minorly low to moderately low blood sugar, the easiest treatment is to administer oral glucose (glucose gell, glucose tablets, etc...) for severe cases, glucagon is administered. Glucagon is a chemical that makes the patient's liver release large amounts of glucose. In the most severe cases (eg. attempted suicide) intravenous glucose is given.

What would happen to the blood glucose level if diabetic gave herself an injection but did not eat or accidentally too much insulin?
Excess insulin reduces the level of sugar in the bloodstream. Such can cause a person to feel weak, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), dilated pupils, sweating, headache, ataxia (in-coordination), seizures and if severe enough it can even cause coma. If have taken an insulin injection it is imperative that you eat something(unless you are something like 20 m/mol). On a side note: At one time insulin shock was used as a treatment for mental illness. Physicians would overdose a patient with insulin. The patient would pass out. Then the liver would gradually release sugar back into the bloodstream and the patient would recover. Psychiatric Hospitals replaced Insulin Shock Therapy with Electroshock Therapy. If you give yourself Insulin Shock Therapy, do not drive.
