Mindy does not take good care of her diabetes and often injects too much or too little insulin. As a result of this habit, Mindy will sometimes cause an additional endocrine disorder. What disorder could Mindy prevent by injecting the appropriate amount of insulin?

Taking too much insulin can make blood glucose drop too low, causing hypoglycemia. Mindy can reduce this risk by injecting the prescribed, appropriate amount of insulin. Cushing’s disease and abnormal growths are not typical consequences of an incorrect insulin dose, and hyperthermia means an unusually high body temperature.
