In an emergency situation where the peson is unresponsive and cannot eat or drink, they will give an injection of glucagon, which is a naturally produced hormone in the body (pancreas) that has the opposite action of insulin. If someone has taken too much insulin, they will give an injection of glucagon to reverse it's effects.
Insulin shock, also known as hypoglycemia, occurs when a diabetic either takes too much insulin, doesn't eat frequently enough, or doesn't eat sufficient amounts of sugar.
Evaluate for insulin shock by looking for the following signs and symptoms: changes in level of consciousness, irritability, shakiness, severe hunger, lack of coordination, rapid heart rate, or pale and clammy skin.
Feed the patient sugar. Candy bars, fruit drinks and table sugar are good sugar sources.
Establish an airway if the person is unconscious. Rub sugar on the gums and under the tongue so that it can be absorbed through the oral mucosa.

Do not administer food or fluids if the patient is unconscious.
The patient should rapidly improve after sugar is administered. If not, consider hyperglycemia and get the patient to a doctor fast.

Nope, just glucose or glucagon.
Balance the amount of insulin taken with the food eaten.
