I second the motion, mo1905. I think we've heard necessary opinions already. We should be supporting one another, but the heated debates have led us to a different direction. I just want to thank all of you for sharing your views. I think we've all said enough. :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Wow this is getting more and more interesting! :D Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

It could be that I haven't been eating a lot of carbs lately. But I did not expect it to go so low that it left me unconscious. Anyway, I went to my doctor this morning and told him what happened yesterday. So he decreased my pre-dinner dose from 22 units to 10 units and then I'll go back next...

I'm glad it didn't happen again to you. And I'm glad you're baby was fine when that happened. It's really not good for us to be alone all the time. I wish I can forget about it soon. It still scares the hell out of me when I go to sleep. Thank you for sharing your experience, Robin. I really...

I didn't have any drink. The last bottle of light beer I had was a month ago. I understand alcohol may lower blood sugar drastically. But I didn't have any. And I ate a lot of rice and meat before I went to bed last night. I appreciate the reply. I hope I can find some answer.

On June 18 this year, my boyfriend and sister had to rush me to the hospital because I was crying in my sleep at around 7. They tried waking me up, but nothing happened. They told me my eyes were open and I was looking at them and following their movement when they were asking me questions. But...

It's sometimes painful especially when the needle is wet with insulin. Hurts like hell, or if I inject a vein on accident. I change the needle every time. I used one needle twice and it didn't end up well. So I figured even if it costs much, it's good to use a new needle every time. And mo1905...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I just talked to someone in the office and he told me that coughing while injecting helps a lot. I guess I'm going to try doing that. You guys should try it, too. :)

How do you decrease, if not completely eliminate, the pain of injecting insulin?

OrionRich, here's the latest I've come across: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/23/healt ... a-diabetes There are a lot of other articles when you look up "marijuana on diabetes," and all of them, probably 98% of the articles are all about the good benefits of marijuana on diabetics.

I'm glad you cleared that up. And don't worry about how you may seem to other people, it's their false judgment. Thank you, too, Martwolves. Good luck! :)

Hello Martwolves. I feel I have to defend myself as I am the one who posted the topic on marijuana and diabetes. The topic became popular because people care about it. The majority of people have responded positively. I'm not saying it's good or bad. What I'm saying is that there's a possibility...

@Anna, thank you for the help. I appreciate it. :)

Wow so many new comments I'm going to read. Thanks y'all. I haven't been able to visit this site because I was in the hospital for 5 days. I apparently had very low blood sugar which made me unconscious and unresponsive for hours. Good thing my boyfriend and sister were able to rush me to the...

Thanks, Anna! :)
