1. what type are you, type-1, type-2, LADA etc?

LADA

2.-A How long since you were Dx'd? (or how long ahve you been diabetic)

High bgs since 2006, officially dx'd in 2008

2-B How long have you been on insulin?

Since Feb 2008

3- how many times and how often have you skipped one or more insulin doses?

Fewer than once a week I'd say

4. What is the longest amount of time you have gone without taking your insulin?

No more than a few hours

5. What problems did you encounter as a result of skipping your insulin?

I've been pleasantly surprised that I don't usually go really high. I did have two slices of pizza last week (thick crust) and didn't take my insulin and was over 400 four hours later. That's the first time that's happened.

Type 1

June 7, 2010

2-B How long have you been on insulin?

June 7, 2010

3- how many times and how often have you skipped one or more insulin doses?

Haven't... yet.

4. What is the longest amount of time you have gone without taking your insulin?

I almost forgot to take it a couple of times, and ended up not eating my carbs, then took it, and ate the carbs.

5. What problems did you encounter as a result of skipping your insulin?

Well in this case, did what I stated above, and it seemed like my levels were a bit out of whack (higher). More problems at this point trying to avoid lows as the amount of insulin I need keeps decreasing. Once it seems I'm on a pattern, it suddenly changes and I'm having hypos... But then, I've only been on treatment about a month and a half, so I guess things will become more predictable at some point.

1. type 1

2. 26 years

3. 26 years

4. i used to mess around and skip my shots all the time

5.i have many long term complications and if i knew then what i knew now what having hi sugars for extended periods of time wouldve done to my life i would have taken this much more serios. i have gastroparesis. i couldnt eat or drink for 4 years and was on a feeding tube for 16 hours a day until i had a pacemaker put in in 2004 which didnt help much. i can eat again but i have been in the ER just about weekly ever since 2004 (no exaggeration) i have not been able to work any longer. i have have both eyes with cataracts removed. the first one when i was 24 and the second one at 38. i have autonomic neuorpothy. i have hi bp and chol. its even effected my breasts. diabetic mastopathy. ive had three large lumps removed from my breast. im anemic cause i cant absorb iron due to my gastroparesis due to diabetes due to hi sugars for years. i have weekly iron infusions. i have frozen shoulder. irratic heart beat. SO, dont mess around! take your insulin if youre suposed to! OH and of course the mental toll of anxiety and depression.

DIABETES IS SERIOUS STUFF

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! AND HAPPY BLOOD SUGARS

2.-10 years, originally as type 2, but recently as 1.5

3- I tend to skip lunch on the weekends so I can avoid a shot. I'm hoping I'm not the only one that does that.

4. Just between breakfast and lunch.

5. No problems, just one less stick!

6. Just wondering if others skip meals to avoid shots.
