As a type one diabetic who takes insulin multiple times a day, I would generally advise against it. Overdosing on insulin will elicit hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Your hypothalamus will stimulate the production of a hormone, ghrelin, which is responsible for appetite. In other words, you will be wholly consumed by the feeling of starvation—a ravenousness you have never felt before. Furthermore, you will likely experience whole body tremors, cold sweats, audio and visual distortions/hallucinations, etc. A simple search for severe hypoglycemia symptoms on type one forums will give you the gist. Not fun. Because you are a non-diabetic(I'm assuming), various organs release stored forms of fast-acting glucose to raise blood sugar, possibly rendering the overdose ineffective. You will experience SI unlike anything you know (in the form of hunger). Many complex variables interact, with several biological blockades, to prevent you from passing in this manner. You are far more likely to suffer until it is unbearable and be forced to call EMS, or consume inordinate amounts of food because SI overruns you.

This is what a family member a few generations back did. His death took place over the course of 50 years—foot amputations, blindness, handicapped, heart problems, thyroid problems, liver problems, heart problems. Improper care of diabetes can cause death, but it is an agonizing one: a death by a thousand cuts. I'd much rather take an easier, swifter route. We face enough torture as is; no need to impose more on ourselves unnecessarily.

Can't say I've never considered it, though. In principle, it sounds rather practical. On paper, not so much, unfortunately.

So I know this is a hard one to swallow, but serial killer Mark Cullen tried to kill me. I think he tried to use some adrenaline simile though. IDK.

I am not diabetic and I tried almost an entire vial. Someone found me an hour and a half later and ambulence rushed me to the hospital, spent 6 days in the critical care unit.

It was not painful at all, did not really feel anything other then the feeling of being drunk.

If I tried it again I would try 2-3 entire vials. Preload dozens of syringes and shove them in subq. Hopefully get enough in before passing out.

You can choose not to amputate your foot. In fact, I am going through all the suffering you mentioned, except for developing diabetes or amputating my foot, because even if I were afflicted with all those disabilities, I would not amputate it and would die a normal death, just as a person from the Stone Age would have died in a time when medicine didn't even exist.

Its easy to say that now, but the terrible agony and impact of that decision on yourself and the others around you, it's still a slow and agonising way to go, it's not what society today would consider a good death or normal one. It would be atrocious.

I have first hand witnessed the slow death of my uncle with type 1 diabetes, he stopped eating and drinking and still it took him 16 days of not drinking anything, alongside uncontrolled diabetes till he died.

With the right dose sparkling water is a way to ctb

Damn that's crazy. I never heard of him so I just looked him up. Digoxin (digitalis) appears to have been his go-to but he also used insulin and epinephrine. Did you know he did something to you at the time or have to make a statement to police? Being almost murdered in a place intended to heal people must really effect trust. I'm sorry you went through that.

No. I had been brought in by the sheriffs for being suicidal. It was at the end. He walked right up to us ( me, and the sheriff who were being processed for the psych ) , and asked if an injection had been ordered. He wanted to get a kill right under the nose of a sheriff. Yeah it did trouble me for a while, when I found out what had happened. I'm not sure what he actually indeed to use. It was actually a large syring.

I am also type one diabetic and people have asked me on here why I haven't done that. Dka is agonizing, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. To be able to slowly feel yourself go into organ failure and uncontrollably vomit with constant nausea and becoming so terribly weak is mot fun. Far from peaceful way to go out.

I've never actually been in DKA, but my brother, who is also a type one, has. He and others I know who have experienced it stated it felt is though they were burning from the inside out. I can't fathom a death in such a gruesome manner—what an awful way to go.

Eat carbohydrate dense foods!!!! Juice, candy, pastries, bread, anything you can find with sugar. I really hope you are okay. If you feel as though you are going to go unconscious, please call EMS and inform them you overdosed on insulin.
