Insulin

[beyondgone]

I'm non diabetic but have access to fast acting insulin, my theory is if I fast for 24 hours then take a walk into the woods, take a load of anti psychotics, anti sickness and alcohol then inject a load of insulin would this work?

For USA based folks - supposedly you can get insulin at wlamart with no prescription.

Just what the title says. Supposedly walmart pharmacy sells it for 25 dollars a vial, no prescription needed. Aside from needing to inject it, probably a more pleasant death than SN.

I am diabetic. Just this morning my blood sugar dropped to 50 and I started feeling really sweaty and sick, and almost without thinking about it I went and ate some things.

Not saying it isn't possible but the survival instinct kicks in hard. I've read as a last resort your muscles will start convulsing to release their stored sugar. It certainly doesn't sound like a peaceful way to go.

For background I am a martial artist, cutting weight or starving myself is easier for me than most, 50 is really high isn't the normal around 5-6? My levels are usually around there my thinking is if I walked far enough into the woods with enough alcohol, anti sickness and sedative medication I can get my hands on I could make my sugar levels drop so far making me fall unconscious then coma and eventually death?

Depends on units I guess, in the USA 50 is kinda low, normal is like 80-130 but type 1 diabetics like me often see 300+

I actually did this.. Im non diabetic but my boyfriend at the time was. He knew i wanted to CTB so when he was in the shower i stole his shot and took it, i dont remember how much tho. He smelled it and called my family and they ended up calling 911. I was too stubborn to eat because i just wanted it to be over and i thought i could sit it out. The peramedics ended up talking me out of it because i felt so ashamed and they took me to the hospital. This was over the course of i think 3 hours total and i didnt feel any different, just a bit shakey. They told me if they had been 10 minutes later I wouldve been out. Wish i could do it again but no acess to insulin here

Yeah it's mg/dL (US) vs mmol/L. I was curious and checked a converter. 50 in the UK would be 900 in the US.

The vials have gone up to $40 I believe.

SI is very hard with this method. Most people eat everything in sight. Also, if you fail there's a chance for long term issues.

I'm a diabetic and have considered this option, I just don't see it being a successful one for me.

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.

A parent of mine tried to CTB with insulin and alcohol. It's long, slow, and very painful. Organs shutting down, seizures, etc. Nothing remotely peaceful. There are so many variables, but just my 2 cents.

Sorry to hear they went thru something so terrible. I'm hoping that if I thoroughly sedate myself, I will be able to remain asleep while my body is going thru hell.

Which sedative you thinking about?

Which sedative you thinking about?

I'm prescribed clonazepam. I don't have any money and need to find a way to make do with what I have, sadly. If only it were possible to successfully OD.I would love to have a way to access to N or SN but both are out of reach for me for the forseeable future.

Hopefully you know your dosage to keep you sleep the entire process

I haven't experimented with this yet and it is a concern. I haven't built up much of a tolerance, so even a slight increase in dose will knock me out for a few hours. Besides my other fears about waking up, I'm afraid I would no longer be prescribed benzos and I really need them for anxiety. It would suck to fail and then have good, needed meds taken away.

My question can you even take high dosage with insulin, people mostly pass out right ?

Oh if you mean passing out from the insulin, it takes time to start being effective. I think it would be different for a non-diabetic but for me, it takes about 20 minutes for a dose to start working.

I've had dangerously low blood sugar levels before (not on purpose) and even then, I was conscious and able to treat myself without help. Other diabetics I've talked to have been amazed that I got thru those episodes without having a seizure or worse. I think my body absorbs insulin very slowly and inefficiently. So many variables to consider.
