If you take too much insulin, you should immediately consume a source of fast-acting sugar, such as juice or candy, to raise your blood sugar levels. It is important to seek medical help if you experience severe symptoms or if your blood sugar levels do not improve.
Insulin, produced by the pancreas, enables the body to take up and use glucose sugar from the blood. Diabetics have an inability to take up glucose from the blood and can have high blood sugar, which is easily fixed by administering insulin.
Insulin
The hormone that regulates blood sugar is insulin, which is secreted by the pancreas. Insulin helps lower blood sugar levels by allowing cells to take in glucose and use it for energy.
The organ which produces insulin is the Pancreas (just below the stomach).

Insulin is secreted by the pancreas in response to high levels of glucose in the blood. When you eat, your blood sugar levels rise, triggering the release of insulin. Insulin helps to regulate blood sugar by allowing cells to take in glucose for energy or storage.
Yes, insulin is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by allowing cells to take in glucose for energy. Without enough insulin, the body cannot properly control blood sugar levels, leading to high blood sugar levels, known as hyperglycemia.
Ensure your blood sugar is above 72mg/dL before taking insulin, especially if you're on insulin. If insulin-resistant, lifestyle changes and medications may be necessary; consult your diabetes team. Medication adherence is crucial; consult your doctor before stopping any medication. Prediabetes indicates higher-than-normal blood sugar but not diabetes; monitor levels closely. Aim for a fasting blood sugar level below 99mg/dL for optimal health.
No you need to know what your blood sugar level is if your level is already low and you take insulin you can go into insulin shock
