Go to ER...: You need to get medical attention in the ER. Your blood sugars will need to be monitored closely and you may need IV fluids with sugar in them to keep your blood sugar from getting too low. Depending on how many you accidentally took will help determine the severity of the problem. You need to go to the ER ASAP! Best of luck to you-let us know what happens.
