Is it wrong?

Question

Do you think it's wrong for someone to take credit for weight loss when they haven't been eating healthy and exercising. They found out how to loose weight by increasing their insulin doses (without their doctor knowing) and still eat huge portions of crappy food.

Answer

I don't think the issue here is whether it's 'wrong' for them to take credit for losing weight. Who cares?

The real issue is that it's dangerous.

Answer

It's stupid is what it is. Hope they're ok with going blind or having to have their feet amputated or od'ing on insulin and dying young.

Answer

Increased insulin doses won't go unnoticed for long. When the prescribed dose runs out early a competent doctor will question why or it'll show up on their next round of blood work.

Answer

Insulin makes you gain weight. I'm type 1 so if she's losing weight and eating a lot it means she's got constant high bg. She's entering DKA and can die.

Answer

The only reason she is loosing weight is because the insulin isn't enough. I have been a type 1 diabetic since I'm 18 months old. (24 years) You only loose weight by NOT HAVING ENOUGH INSULIN!!! This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I have encountered 4 near death experiences in and out of comas because of this. If she is losing weight, her blood sugar is extremely uncontrolled!

Answer

This is really dangerous. My cousin ended up in a coma after realizing she could lose weight by changing her insulin. She was in high school at the time and was feeling the peer pressure to be thin (and she wasn't overweight). We almost lost her.

Answer

I think its very dangerous to do that!

Answer

That sounds life threatening.

Answer

Yeah I have a friend who messed with her insulin doses as a teen and is now on the transplant list for a new pancreas and kidney. Not. Worth. It.

Answer

It's just as bad as a muscle head using the illegal steroids. I have an aunt that went and got that gastric bypass about 2 years ago. She went around after that acting so proud of herself, when in all reality she had done nothing. She didn't learn how to eat healthy and now she has managed to put on some more weights. It's not a lot...but still. If you are trying to lose weight, you need to do it the right way. You need to learn to cut out the crap and intake on your protein and veggies/fruit. If you rely on surgery and other procedures, then you aren't changing your health permenantly...it is a temporary fix.
