Moths & mushrooms!
People who are ignorant towards diabetes :(
Animal cruelty
People who use their mobile phones whilst driving
When I was in my early teens, I was stupid enough to do this. I'd deliberately miss injections, or do virtually no insulin - just enough to stop me feeling like absolute s***. I was also eating virtually nothing, so I figured it wasn't too dangerous to just stop taking my insulin. What a moron, right?
I don't think there is enough out there about this, mainly the dangers of it - when I did this, I was pretty naive to the potential long term effect on my health. It was only when the diabetic clinic picked up on it - my ever decreasing weight on each appointment - that they then sat me down & told me what I was doing to myself.
All I can say is I'm thankful to God every day that stupid time in my life hasn't (so far) cause serious complications years later.
