Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. Developing hypoglycemia in a patient with conventional insulin is fairly common seen problem. Plus if patient is also on glimiperide in addition to insulin, then there are greater chances. Since she was on 40 you + 28 u) two doses of insulin with 8 mg of glimiperide, the possibility was more.

Plus it is also necessary to know patient's age, dietary habits, kidney functi...more
