[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2335936, member: 372717"] And I''m going to retry posting a really interesting article about (long discontinued) insulin shock therapy for schizophrenia. [URL='https://www.priory.com/homol/insulin.htm']Insulin Therapy for Schizophrenia (priory.com)[/URL] Basically they started with 20 units and kept increasing the daily dose until the patients went into comas, with coma rates as low as 40 and as high as 600 units (guess there were T2s with schizophrenia). [I]Massed figures gathered in the United States give a mortality of 90 deaths in 12,000 patients treated, of which about half were due to hypoglycaemic encephalopathy, which is thus seen to be the most serious risk of treatment; it is, on the other hand, an avoidable risk and is the rarer the more skilled the operator. In this series there were also twelve deaths from heart failure, nine from aspiration pneumonia, seven from pneumonia occurring otherwise, some of which were probably also avoidable.[/I] [/QUOTE]
