How long and how painful is an insulin overdosed death? What happens to the person in this case?

Question

I found my husband dead the end of July. He had been a diabetic since he was about 10 years old. He was 27 when he passed. He overdosed on his insulin. This has been very hard for me to deal with, but I wounder everyday if it was painful, or if he suffered, how long did he have to. I believe the he induced several vials of his insulin. I just feel if I had answers, it would keep me from woundering everyday of my life! I will never forget, but finding answers might bring some peace to me about it. Thankyou.

Answer 1

I am sorry for your loss first , But to answer your question , no this would have brought his glucose level so far down that he would have just been very sleepy and gone into what is called a diabetic comma and fell into deep sleep and passed away.

I' really sorry for your loss, sorry for also waking this thread up but iwas curious about what people had to say about this. I've tried it 4 times myself and i can surely tell you that it ain't painfull at all. On the other hand i obviously haven't managed yet, i've taken like 2 vials of long term and 2 short terms (tresiba and novorapid) i've only received medical assistance in one of those 4 cases and the ither times i've made it out myself. One thing that is needed is sleeping pills, that's the reason i haven't managed to make it yet. No you won't die instantly of low bloodsugar as other people says. It will probably take some hour and it's surely not painfull if asleep. Ps im 22 i got diabetes when i was 17.

Tried it, but it didn't work. I was about to be arrested after a psychotic break in which I still remember no details. I am a type 1 diabetic and also suffer from Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar type. During the standoff, I injected 30units of Novolog directly into a vein. Unfortunately, my wife informed the pigs about my condition, and the paramedics (which I used to be 14 years ago before my symptoms became unmanageable) monitored and administered glucose to counteract it. I won't bore you with the details of my tortured existence since then. Suffice it to say, I keep 200 units ready in a syringe as my own personal "cyanide capsule". When I finally get the courage, I will make sure that I am alone.

Answer 8

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 9

Painless? yes, but not that quick and could possibly have some injuries. When lapsing into insulin unconncienceness you also suffer siezures in which you may injure yourself. I've had a couple of hypos leading to unconciosness, both times sufferring some injuries from siezures such as severe carpet burns. On the plus side it is painless, you simply nod off. Hyper is another method, or, death by Tim Tams. Had a friend who died of a hyper. Personally I would rather die by my own hand than suffer some insidious disease.

Answer 10

Im a type 1 diabetic for 38 years. Take lantus(long acting) humulog(rapid acting) One time I accidently gave 40 units of humulog rather than lantus. My gf found me standing in the room sweating just staring forward. She called paramedics my blood sugar was 17 supposed to be 80-100 at zero you die. For me I dont remmber anything but the feeling i needed food fast. I didnt get it. You just black out at certain point, if you are aware that its happening awake youll hit a threshold that the body has set for you to send you into find food mode and that is unstoppable. If you are asleep and you dont wake up in time(your threshold) its possible you will die. The body also does certain things to try and keep you alive enzymes release of glycogen adrenaline. How ever if you have given a vial worth of rapid acting there would be virtually no stopping death and it would be rather quick. there again the body does things ie shut off blood supply to un needed areas ie arms legs if the injection was there might be halted by the body but i doubt it. just remember rapid acting is 15 minutes to 30 minutes start peak. so if your blood sugar is at 100 and you gave 100 units at a 25 blood sugar point drop per unit within 30 minutes youll die most likely unaware.

Answer 11

You need a lot of insulin, I injected 1200 units of levemir and 60 of novorapid and I was a mess I woke up and my family found me incoherent and couldn t speak, they called an ambulance and gave me glucose. Took about two days to recover, next time I ll try it with sleeping pills and see what happens. The body goes into survival mode and does everything in its power to keep you alive.
