What Should Be Done For Severe Chills After Taking An Insulin Shot?

My husband is a diabetic and this evening after taking his inslin shot, about 30 min later he
developed shaking, like he was very cold and 1 hour later he is still shaking and I have covered
him in bed with a warm blanket and not sure what else I should do. Can you tell me what I should
do?

Hi,

Stop insulin and shift to OHA. Always keep your food ready before you take insulin. Keep cbg monitoring device. Shivering can be due to hypoglycemia. Please consult doctor with FBS and PPBS report for insulin dose and type adjustment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
