A member asked:
Can i take insulin if i'm not if i'm not a diabetic.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No!: The first thing i would ask is why would you want to do so. Perhaps you and your physician have some reason; however, Insulin is critical for people with type 1 diabetes who do not make insulin. In anyone else, the risk of low blood glucose (hypoglycemia) is huge. That can kill you. Please do not do this without a good medical reason!
