Situation: A patient on 10 units of insulin developed hypoglycemia with 11 units of insulin.
Reaction: Oh by God! Why was additional insulin given?
Lesson: Make sure that the insulin dose is correctly calculated. The formula is 1500/total daily dose. The value will be the amount of sugar fluctuation with one unit of insulin.
