What happens if a non-diabetic takes insulin?

If a non-diabetic person takes insulin, it can lead to dangerously low blood sugar levels, known as hypoglycemia. This can cause symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, sweating, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness or seizures. It is important for insulin to be used only under the guidance of a healthcare professional and for the treatment of diabetes.

How does diabetes affect athletic performance?

Diabetes affects the way your body processes sugars to form energy. In a normal healthy person our body releases its own insulin to convert the sugars into a usable form. A diabetic person measures their blood sugar and takes the required amount of insulin to use those sugars (foods) eaten. The problem lies in an athlete uses different amounts of energy at different times, especially football! Thus it is VERY difficult to determine the amount of insulin needed so an athlete can perform.


Will any insurance cover a Type 2 diabetic who takes insulin?

Yes, try a employer group plan or Mr. Mip. Some carriers will offer individual coverage to an insulin dependent Type 2 diabetic. The rules are fairly stringent and it will generally be at a higher rate but it is not always an automatic decline. Talk to a local agent who specializes in health care. Type 2 diabetics are not insulin dependant. If you happen to be over 65 years of age and on Medicare, you are covered. Type 2 diabetes initially is not insulin dependent but the medications used soon become ineffective and the patient must resort to using insulin. I have been a type 2 diabetic for 20 years and take 3 different types of insulin which controls my blood glucose very well.

What would happen to the blood glucose level if diabetic gave herself an injection but did not eat or accidentally too much insulin?

Excess insulin reduces the level of sugar in the bloodstream. Such can cause a person to feel weak, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), dilated pupils, sweating, headache, ataxia (in-coordination), seizures and if severe enough it can even cause coma. If have taken an insulin injection it is imperative that you eat something(unless you are something like 20 m/mol). On a side note: At one time insulin shock was used as a treatment for mental illness. Physicians would overdose a patient with insulin. The patient would pass out. Then the liver would gradually release sugar back into the bloodstream and the patient would recover. Psychiatric Hospitals replaced Insulin Shock Therapy with Electroshock Therapy. If you give yourself Insulin Shock Therapy, do not drive.


How can you stop diabetes from affecting you?

If a diabetic follows a medically recommended diet exactly, without cheating, and takes prescribed medication (which would be metformin or insulin) as scheduled, and avoids certain other types of risks (do not get a sunburn) then the diabetes should have very little effect, it will be controlled.
