Excess insulin reduces the level of sugar in the bloodstream. Such can cause a person to feel weak, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), dilated pupils, sweating, headache, ataxia (in-coordination), seizures and if severe enough it can even cause coma.
If have taken an insulin injection it is imperative that you eat something(unless you are something like 20 m/mol).
On a side note:
At one time insulin shock was used as a treatment for mental illness. Physicians would overdose a patient with insulin. The patient would pass out. Then the liver would gradually release sugar back into the bloodstream and the patient would recover.
Psychiatric Hospitals replaced Insulin Shock Therapy with Electroshock Therapy.
If you give yourself Insulin Shock Therapy, do not drive.

How could a nurse kill you if she gave you the wrong IV solution?
The possibility exists. However, there are a time-tested series of checks and balances in hospitals, especially to prevent exactly that sort of thing. I also encourage the patient to get well aquainted with the medications she is receiving and to feel free to check the dosage and medication herself before allowing an injection. While this rarely happens, mortality by this method is not a common occurance.

What do you do when a diabetic is having a hypo?
'Hypo', hypoglycemia means low blood sugar level, - the concentration of glucose in the blood falls below the necessary level. While it could be a side effect of some anti-diabetic medication, most likely occurs in insulin-dependent diabetics. Causing factors can be higher than necessary dose of insulin, vigorous exercise - as the body uses more glucose, skipped meal, or the presence of some illnesses. Excessive alcohol intake also can lead to hypoglyceamia. It is important to know the signs of hypoglycemia, as if glucose is supplied (either by taking fruit juice, soft drink, sweets, or glucose tablets), blood glucose level can normalise. That can be done by the diabetic person him- or herself. However, if the glucose level falls significantly, the patient can become comatose, and in that stage it is vital to interfere. If the patient have a tendency for 'hypo's, he/she is advised to keep an emergency glucagon injection, which should be administered without delay if the person became comatose. This injection is allowed to be given by a non-medical person, such as family member or friends for example. Because of the seriousness of the situation, diabetics, their family, care persons, friends should be aware of the signs of impending hypoglycaemia.
