Abstract
- A case report in the journal Reactions Weekly describes a 29-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes who experienced hypoglycemia after intentionally overdosing on insulin. The woman was admitted to the hospital for investigation of cyclical vomiting syndrome and her diabetes was managed using an insulin pump. Analysis of the pump data revealed that she had been manipulating the fill cannula function to administer excessive amounts of insulin, leading to hypoglycemia. This case highlights the potential dangers of intentional insulin overdose and the importance of monitoring and support for individuals with diabetes. [Extracted from the article]
