A 32-year-old lady presented to the emergency department for suicidal attempt by self-injection of insulin (Protaphane 210 units). She developed repeated episodes of hypoglycaemia even with continuous intravenous infusion of 10% dextrose solution during observation. However, she did not develop serious complications of hypoglycaemia and was subsequently discharged after conservative treatment. Acute insulin poisoning is uncommon. The management of this uncommon poisoning is reviewed in this case report.
