I would suggest doubling the dosage of insulin so that it would have an effect on the woman.

If you did not adjust the dosage then glucose wouldn’t be able to get into the cells without insulin and this could cause an irregular or fast heartbeat, fatigue, pale skin, hypoglycemia, cardiac death, and cause ischemic cerebral damage.
