Insulin reduces blood sugar. Taking too much insulin will drastically lower the body's blood sugar. Your body needs this glucose for fuel, and without it, it cannot function.
A person with low blood sugar will start to have symptoms such as shaking, confusion, sweating, hunger, lightheadedness, and eventually will lose consciousness if their blood sugar does not rise. If their blood sugar drops too low, and is not treated, the person will die.

Will any insurance cover a Type 2 diabetic who takes insulin?
Yes, try a employer group plan or Mr. Mip. Some carriers will offer individual coverage to an insulin dependent Type 2 diabetic. The rules are fairly stringent and it will generally be at a higher rate but it is not always an automatic decline. Talk to a local agent who specializes in health care. Type 2 diabetics are not insulin dependant. If you happen to be over 65 years of age and on Medicare, you are covered. Type 2 diabetes initially is not insulin dependent but the medications used soon become ineffective and the patient must resort to using insulin. I have been a type 2 diabetic for 20 years and take 3 different types of insulin which controls my blood glucose very well.
Will wheat grass help your diabetes?
No. It has no effect. Diabetes is a disease involving sugar and a hormone : insulin. If you happen to be pre-diabetic AND you're fat, losing weight will help ... it may even prevent the disease from occurring. (Because the fat cells effect your ability to utilize the insulin that your body has.)

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.
