Hi noted, that you have taken slightly higher dose of insulin than prescribed? Can get Low sugar thats all nothing to worry Check bed time blood Sugars.. if sugars less than 100, give some protein drink with Sugar Repeat 2 am to 3am sugars, if less than 80.. give some milk or something  to eat That will reduce panicing re Low sugars...
