Suicide by Insulin? Or Murder by Medical Complex? May 19, 2017

"Some suicides with insulin are likely missed in people with diabetes, just as [suicide may be missed] in people without diabetes using other medications or after a car accident. Could a suicide using insulin be missed? Absolutely," said Alicia McAuliffe-Fogarty, vice president of lifestyle management at the American Diabetes Association.http://ift.tt/2qBp2dA

 Really? It is interesting, why someone try to do so? Oh, no, I do not try to say that diabetics type 2 do not attempt suicide or not suicidal at all. It is not the reason for this post. The reason is, did one ever tried to commit suicide with insulin? That's right. It is too long to do so, and extremely painful. Alicia McAuliffe-Fogarty, vice president of lifestyle management at the American Diabetes know nothing about diabetes, types of diabetes, or how insulin works. Let us take a look what she present as it is "ABSOLUTELLY".

According to Dr. Alyson Myers, director of inpatient diabetes at North Shore University Hospital, in Manhasset, N.Y., "If someone comes in with hypoglycemia, you think, 'Oh, they overdid it.' And, sometimes when people come in with hyperglycemia or DKA (a complication of hyperglycemia), the intention to self-harm can be missed." 

Well, the question is, if this condition can be fatal? Not really. When someone come to hospital with high blood sugar it is usually takes days to develop, and diabetics can ding a year or longer with abnormally high, very high level of sugar in blood. Prove? ask those Doctor, what level of sugar is fatal? How high fatal blood sugar level? There is no answer to this question. No one of them would be able to answer to this question.
There is another question, for how long fatal level of sugar can be developed? This question the same as first one, has no one answer.
So, it is clear that suicide with high blood sugar or attempt to  refuse to take insulin shot in attempt to commit suicide, is not practical, and not reasonable. Death would be so long and so painful, and 100% preventable that no one really try this way to end own life.
    OK, there is another way, to inject high dose of insulin and this would be final end. Really? At first if so then no one must take any medicine. No painkillers, no sleep pills, no many types of medicine. Any medicine is danger. So, the question is why it is insulin presented as a target? Really why?
     But still, let us take a look at if really high dose of insulin would be fatal? In the early Insulin era there was attempt to murder with insulin. Man-nurse tried to kill his wife, not diabetic, with insulin. He gave to her highest dose of insulin, and she skipped into low blood sugar. Was she killed? No. He needed to finish job with water, to drown her.
     Still, every one of us who take insulin do know way too well, how low blood sugar looks like. At the same time our bodies try to survive. It is not only personal choice, but it is fight with nature. So, why try this so not reasonable way in stead to commit car crash, or just cut own blood vessels? Much easy and faster.
      But still really why ADA so sure we will commit suicide with insulin? At least someone of us?
      Well, diabetics die as a result of high or low blood sugar. There are many other causes of our deaths, but high or low blood sugar can be attributed to diabetes only. So, why we die because of diabetes?

People with type 1 diabetes no longer make enough insulin and must give themselves insulin to stay alive. People with type 2 diabetes don't use insulin efficiently -- this is called insulin resistance -- and eventually don't make enough insulin to keep up with the body's demands. At this point, people with type 2 diabetes also need to take insulin.

     So, it is easy to see that if there is no insulin then insulin must be added in injections. This is type 1 diabetes. What about diabetes type 2, insulin resistance, and point that diabetics type 2 need to take insulin? If someone does not make insulin then insulin must be added in injections, so why it is only applied for type 1 diabetics who does not secret insulin enough? In the same way diabetics type 2 does not secret insulin enough so we need insulin added in injections from the first day we diagnosed with diabetes, right? Wrong. ADA recommend Life Style Modifications as first line treatment for diabetics type 2. This first line does not based on the level of sugar in blood. The recommendations are only for lowest level how diabetes can be diagnosed, 200 mg/dl random. But diabetic can enter in medical office with sugar 700 mg/dl.Is this somehow different in diagnose or treatment? Not at all. Life style modifications is first line every time when any diabetic enter into clinic any clinic at first time.
       Another point is, if diabetic's type 2 body does not use insulin effectively then how it does use it? What treatment for proper use of insulin for diabetics type 2? No any treatment for diabetics type 2 different then for diabetics type 1 or any non diabetic. If so then why there are types of diabetes with so opposite types of treatment, insulin for type 1 and non-insulin therapy for type 2 diabetics? No any reason for that.

People with diabetes often have to make adjustments to their insulin doses. If they make a mistake and take too much, an extremely low blood sugar level (hypoglycemia) can occur. If they give themselves too little insulin, their blood sugar levels rise (hyperglycemia). Either condition can be very dangerous.

So, it is most difficult task to adjust dose of insulin. How our medical industry educate diabetics type 2 to adjust dose of insulin? well, try to get any info how to dose insulin. There is no such info. All what I have to do just 'adjust' but there is no any clue how to do so. There is no one tip what to do when sugar is low. Yes, I have to take two spoon of sugar. It does not work. Simple, it does not work. And if my sugar is high then how I have to adjust it and bring it down? In medical clinic doctor all the time ask diabetic what dose of insulin diabetic injects, what type of insulin, what regime. They all ask it. No one of them will say, how to adjust dose of insulin according to the level of sugar.
      It is all the time presented that diabetes type 2 insulin resistant type of diabetes. This type of diabetes demand higher dose of insulin then insulin dependent type of diabetes, over 200 units of insulin in injections. I am 400 pounds. My highest dose of insulin, according to ADA recommendations, must be 100 units. I inject 300 units daily, and I am very good with this dose. In time of sick days or stress, I do have higher blood sugar, so I inject up to 400 units. I never injected higher then 400 units, but I will if I would need so.
     To compare, type 1 diabetics inject 50 units, and less.
 According to Dr. Alyson Myers, director of inpatient diabetes at North Shore University Hospital, in Manhasset, N.Y.,:

It's not clear exactly how high the rates of suicide are in people with diabetes, though Myers said the rates are higher than in the general population.

Really, based on what evidence this claim? No evidence. No records that diabetic died because of attempt of suicide with insulin. This is only to put burden from sick head on the healthy one.

Plus, an attempt at suicide using insulin or other blood sugar-lowering medications may ultimately fail. "The body is a resilient thing," Myers said, explaining that the body has ways to protect itself, such as releasing a natural form of sugar from the liver.

Really, how it is reasonable to take this road to finish the walk? Does it is another attempt to pretend how bad people we are? We are not. But the key is medical education when no one doctor has any one idea how to Rx insulin, how to dose it, and how to adjust the dose. They are easy to put victim on high-low swing, and let diabetic collapse from high or low level of sugar in blood. 

BTW, why it is all the time only level of sugar taken into consideration when diabetes diagnosed? Diabetes is the insulin secretion by pancreas. Does any test to check up if pancreas capable to secret insulin? No one test to check up the health of pancreas. Probably this test would be put end to discussion what is type 2 and which one is type 1 diabetes? I am sure we do have different pancreas problems, even these problems lead to the same condition, high blood sugar level.
