Diabetics Dangerous Weight Game
Diabetics rely on shots of insulin, something that their bodies do not produce on their own, to keep in line with what a normal person’s body would secrete, every day. But a new dangerous trend is emerging where diabetics may be gambling with their lives in the name of being thin, something that all too many of us fall prey to at one time or another, but perhaps with not such grave possibilities.
You see, one of the side effects of diabetes, and consequently when diabetics do not get enough insulin, is an uncontrollable weight loss. Many women, especially younger women who may not understand the full cost of denying their bodies insulin, are actually skipping their insulin so that this seemingly desirable side effect becomes a reality.
The problem with skipping insulin shots for diabetics is not only an uncontrollable weight loss, but also the fact that they can and will cause permanent damage to their kidneys and risk blindness and even death if they keep either skipping insulin or they just don’t take enough insulin to keep their kidneys healthy. Perhaps there is a hypnotist that can help in this case? I was just thinking because of self hynotherapy for weight loss, maybe they had something that could help bulimics and diabetics with anorexia.
Another unsavory aspect of not getting insulin for diabetics especially with Type 1 diabetes is the risk of amputation of limbs and digits because of diabetes-onset gangreen. Heart palpitations, cramping, eye problems and a barrage of other horrid side effects result from not taking insulin for Type 1 diabetics, and it’s all in the name of not weighing as much. Sad….very sad.
