A member asked:
If your not a diabetic and you take insulin, what would happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a good: Idea. While your body would probably protect you, if you took a sufficient amount of the wrong kind of Insulin you could develop low blood sugar which can cause medical problems. Don't play chicken with your health. Also, don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
