Can injected insulin make you depressed?

Answer 1

Hi, Dudeberry!
Insulin > depression? No, but a feeling of hopelessness or helplessness can. So let me cheer you up. Here's some information you may not have been exposed to before.
I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are many things YOU can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Answer 2

NOOOOOO! I've been on insulin for 7 yrs and its never caused me any depression what so ever. I think you might be depressed because of your diabetes but its definitely not the shots. It is depressing sometimes to have to give yourself 3-5 shots a day. It gets boring and frustruating but that has nothing to do with injected insulin. Get some help if it makes you feel better.

Answer 3

No the insulin can't but high or low blood sugar does and people with diabetes normally suffer from depression. It's sad to find out you have this disease. And a lot of people don't know how to cope with it.
My Dad has diabetes and Parkinson's so I need to help him keep his spirits high.
