I take Humalog before meals and NPH in the evening. I actually thought I was doing great with regards to my blood glucose levels, until my pharmacist told me I was taking way too much insulin.

My daughter’s boyfriend spent the night at our home. At 10:00 pm, his blood sugar was low, and he then took his insulin injection. He ate a cheese sandwich with a glass of orange juice, and at 2:30 am, he had a seizure. Should he have taken his insulin when his sugar was low?
