Message: <blockquote data-quote="gemma6549" data-source="post: 814883">Hi CrissyAs someone who stopped taking their insulin for 6 years because I wanted to be skinny I know where your coming from.I also know it's a really bad idea!!The swelling you get as soon as you start taking your insulin again is water retention and after a week or so of getting your insulin regime back on track this will settle down.Trust me when I say you need to stop this now before you get into a viscous cycle that is soooo hard to get out of.The damage you do to yourself , your family, your friends and future is real and irreparable in many cases, that's if your lucky enough to survive.I was left incontinent, with a tumour in my liver, abscesses on my bottom and head, neuropathy that left me housebound for a year and wanting to die just to be free of the pain.I'm sorry if this seems a bit full on but because I know what could happen to you I really need you to understand this is not a road you want to go down.</blockquote>
