How much is six units of insulin for a diabetic?
It depends on the type of insulin and also the diabetic. It varies greatly on long acting insulin and short acting insulin. For short acting insulin you need to find out the insulin to carbohydrate ratio for a diabetic first. Using a sliding scale you need to determine the blood sugar of the diabetic and also how many carbohydrates they have ingested. Whether or not it is a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic will also affect the outcome. For an average sized adult with type 1 diabetes, they would need to consume approximately 60-85 grams of carbohydrates, but again it depends on the individual greatly.

Will insulin kill if injected into vein?
As a type 1 diabetic and nurse, I can tell you it can kill you, but only because it drops your blood sugar very quickly. At some hospitals, nurses will actually inject insulin into a patients iv line in order to get bg down fast. If you think you have injected into a vein, check glucose levels every few minutes, and go ahead and treat for a low.
