Message: <blockquote data-quote="jharding" data-source="post: 1243041" data-attributes="member: 325103">I was in hospital getting diagnosed a month ago. On the bed opposite was a guy who'd been admitted with Diabetic Ketoacidosis for not taking his insulin. My wife's friend was airlifted to hospital at University for nousing up her diabetes and had to have (eventually) an organ transplant. This isn't to scare you, but insulin saves your life. The Diabetic Support Nurses and Doctors have experience in setting doses that are good for you, and keep you healthy. I cannot think of a good reason to amend that regime unless you know exactly what you are doing. And eschewing life-saving medication for short-term weight loss doesn't sound like a good reason to me. If you want to lose weight, then there are better/easier/safer/healthier ways than to stop medicating.Best of luck; I've gained 5lb over the summer break so I need to do something pre-Christmas too.
