Taking to much insulin
My mom takes 30 units of Lantis, and she took what w a s left of one of her pens which only had 10 units left. She had another full pen which was refrigerated and she waited til it got room temperature but she had forgot about the ten units she took a half an hour earlier and took 28units from the new pen. So she took 38 units altogether so I'm wondering if that will hurt her or something?

Just watch for low glucose values, check blood glucose or watch carefully for symptoms like sweating, tremors anxiety. Check glucose, if not less than 70, its fine. If low, In such a case give some candy or juice and ensure glucose value above 100. You should review with your treating diabetologist for proper counselling on insulin issues for such situations. Lantus ordinarily will not put her at risk for low sugars.
