I would suggest you take her to a vet clinic to be monitored for the day. She may be fine but she may also get hypoglycemic which can be life threatening. They will likely have you skip the evening dose of insulin. It is best to consult with a local vet. I definitely would not suggest that you leave her home alone with no one to watch her.
