∙ 9y agoThe oral bioavailability of most insulin products is less than 1% due to acidic and enzymatic degradation in the stomach and small intestine. Therefore, unless you swallowed hundreds of units of insulin, it is unlikely to have much effect. That said, you should be on the look out for symptoms of hypoglycemia, including sweating, palpitations, lightheadedness, or feeling suddenly hungry. If you experience these symptoms, check your blood sugar immediately and if low, eat a sugary snack and call EMS and go to the closest hospital for evaluation.
