I'm thinking a lot about this, after researching methods and finding so much difficulty with access and reliability. I have Type 1 diabetes and lots of insulin pens. I've read about any experiences I can find here and it appears extremely unreliable and unpleasant. Is the unreliability a factor of SI, discovery by others due to how long it can take, or is there is an organic reason it's considered a bad idea? Much appreciation if anyone can clarify.
I have benzos and would heavily sedate myself before overtaking my insulin and hopefully fall into a deep sleep after. This seems like a way to avoid SI. There is a risk of being discovered if it takes longer than one night, as I live with family, so this is a concern.
The other diabetic way out is to just stop taking insulin and let my body go into DKA. I'm worried this could take a really long time and would also love if anyone has clarity on this. I have dealt with diabulimia in the past and restricted insulin intake, but I never completely stopped taking it, so I didn't experience severe DKA.
I'm so grateful for any knowledge that can be shared here.
