A member asked:
I am a diabetes mellitus type1.. and im insulin dependent.. but i'd stop taking insulin coz of the budget.. is it ok to stop my insulin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. absolutely not: If you want to end up in the hospital, or possible die, then it would be ok to stop your insulin. If you are type i diabetic, you will be on Insulin for the rest of your life. It is not optional.
