I am 17 years old and 2 years ago I have type I diabetes.
A friend of mine, also of my age they were diagnosed a year ago, and two months ago he stopped injecting insulin like this because yes, he does not need it.But it seems impossible to me, since your diet deals with many hydrates (pizza, etc.) and also drinks enough beer (I don't know if it's bad in a diabetic).
Can someone tell me if this is possible?!
Surely not, so, what would be the consequences of not injecting insulin?
I would worry that something happened to him, besides that he stops injecting or consulted with his doctor.
I ask me at age 16 and it wasn't a good idea. When you stop injecting insulin the first days notes exhaustion. Then you lose a lotCom chest if your heart exploded then coma dicabetic and the hospital. This was my experience of not injecting insulin so take care of yourself and do not do nonsense.
I do not know if it is due to ignorance, lack of information or that, but there are people who must think that diabetes as a flu in which insulin is the antigripal that if they send you to take a box and take half nothing happens..Sadica and I will to torture myself causing lethal but non -mortal failures of all kinds.

Did you want to commit suicide?
If I wanted to commit suicide I would not be here anymore. It is the simple fact of teenage thinking.
Insulin is a vital hormone for our subsistence as you have explained perfectly up.Given that the diabetics need the one created in the laboratory and thanks to that we are alive and making normal life or almost because each one is a world.If your pancreas do not produce it and do not inject the die and it is a shame. You have to be very careful with what people say because if your friend does that and is D1, it will be minimal annoyed to the point of the coma if it would not be and if it is type 2 it is hurt without wearing an adequate diet to control the sugarminimum without appropriate medication to your case
It is one thing to experience how you control your levels, another is to be reckless and negligent about the seriousness of the medication.Definitely if you have to inject you have to inject.And follow medical recommendations.Use metformin, but I have the insulins in reserve in case the time comes when it depends on them 100%.Diabetes is as Luvi says, sadistic.It presents many Quebse conditions associate with its presence.
msp80s said: I did not put insulin because I did not eat for having a gastroenteritis and ended with ketoschidosis
You can never stop putting insulin, lack of insulin is what causes ketoacidosis.If you do not eat you will have to adjust the doses to avoid hypoglycemia but not leave it at all.You probably do not need anything quickly and the slow thing you can leave it the same or have to lower it a little, but you can never stop using completely.Insulin is not only necessary to cover meals, the body constantly produces glucose and needs insulin to use it (slow or basal insulin).If you don't get anything you will have hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis. Faced with any disease that does not let you eat and drink normally you have to monitor glucose levels and put insulin to keep it in normal values.Dehydration can also cause ketoacidosis, if it is not possible to retain or water in the stomach it is important to go to the emergency department to put intravenous serum.If you can drink, then a homemade water, lemon, bicarbonate and salt or a pharmacy is sufficient.But always controlling that glucose is in normal values.If you go up a lot and fail to lower it with insulin, then to the emergency room.
Can a diabetic type I stop injecting insulin? It depends on whether you want to live or not .... If you want to live, in a short time you will inject it again, or will pass through the emergency room and sooner than later if your diet is that guy.

Please do not stop commenting how your friend's story ends.
Boys I tell you my personal story, not that of a cousin wedge or a told me ...
I debuted with type 1 diabetes at 15.
There was a time about 20 years, where I trained daily almost 3: 30h of Gym with a low hydrates diet.
I was practically 3 months that I insulin between 0 and 4 units per day of insulin.
When I went to the endocrine, he threw his hands in his head but because he didn't understand anything, he had a glycosylated 5.6 and was perfectly.
Understand that this was not a matter of 1 year, much less, but I leave you my story so that you understand that it is a disease that I believe is still unknown.
@marine with low hydrates diet and a lot of sport can be used minimal insulin quantities but usually there is always any need.There are some (especially lada or honeymoon type) that they don't need anything for a while but it is because their body still produces something.There is also some case of women who a few days after childbirth do not put anything in insulin (I know any case), but they are not permanent situations and only happens in specific cases, it cannot be generalized.Just stopping to eat a few days due to illness, as is the case of @MSP80s you cannot stop injected because you have a risk of ketoacidosis, the doses will have to be adapted but not stop putting it on. I guess in your case is what you had to do, when lowering hydrates and increasing exercise you needed much less insulin. I also continue low diet in hydrates and to ketogenic seasons for years and I have seasons that I do enough sport but I still can't stop using insulin.I adjust the doses but are never zero.I have been with diabetes for 17 years and my pancreas does not produce any insulin already, if I do not wear it because it is insured ketoacidosis. Many endocrine do not understand ketosis and low hydrates diets because they have not trained them and have no patients who do so to learn.Sometimes they are open and are interested to learn and others tell you that you do not do it because something will happen to you simply because they do not know how to manage it and prefer that you do the things they are comfortable with.But with knowledge it can be done without any problem low diet in hydrates, ketogenic, intense sport ... we go like any non -diabetic.We are more and more who do it and have glycosylated with which endocrine hallucinates.In the last one I had 5 that is the lowest I have had, but I have been with glycos for more than 3 years between 5.3-5.9.And there are people on Instagram who have managed to get off 5 and maintain it.But there is still a lot until the endocrine are well formed in this type of food and can help us.Luckily, my endocrine seems to see Bie, he has seen that low -hydrates diets are giving good results and does not oppose even if I don't see it with many knowledge to guide me, I have tended to look for it on my own.The truth is that as I carry very good controls my consultations are 5 minutes and we do not enter much detail.But I prefer that to an endocrine who "laughs" for not doing what he sends me, I just needed to have to go to consultations to argue with the doctor.
