Saturday morning I got out of bed, took my 24hr. Lantus Solostar injection (39 units), I noticed a little blood came out of the needle when I pulled it out (this happened once before but quite a while ago when I was taking only 16 units daily), I then walked out of our bathroom (where I keep my insulin pens) straight to the kitchen, checked my glucose (was at 98), made a cup of coffee, sat down to drink it and within 5mins. went into a seizure (according to my wife, because at this point in time I didn't have a clue as I was unconscience), when I started to wake up about 15-20 mins later I was already on an IV glucose drip that the EMS had administered while I was out. When they got there (about 10 mins after my daughter call 911 and my wife had administered Glucose gel to my gums) they said they had a reading of 32. The shot I took was in my belly fat that morning, my doctor said he had never heard of anyone shooting into a blood vessel in the stomach and that it was highly unlikely that happened but did not have a better explanation. I am confused as to what other possibility there would be but have decided to cut my dose in half and take two of these long acting injections a day to reduce the possibility of coma or even death if that is what indeed happened. Anyone else ever have this happen? If so any idea's?
Has anyone ever had an overdose right after injecting the Lantus Solostar long acting insulin?
