What would happen if someone without diabetes injected themselves with insulin?
I haven’t actually done this, or even considered doing it. My boyfriend has diabetes and I don’t. We were just wondering what would happen to me if I did it.

Thanks for the answers!

Recently, I have been experiencing some symptoms of diabetes, my biggest symptoms being increased hunger and thirst, increased urination, cold/tingling hands and feet, fatigue, and dizziness. My grandfather had diabetes, and so did his brothers and sisters (I am not sure about his parents), but as far as we know no one else in my family has the condition. Lately I have been so tired and dizzy that my daily life has been affected- (I tried to go shopping and only made it for about a half an hour). Although (I’m embarrassed to admit) I do tend to eat pretty unhealthily, I am at a normal weight, with a 22.6 BMI. (It is also strange as I have been so hungry I’ve been eating about double what I normally do, maybe even 4,000 calories a day, and it seems like I’ve almost lost weight.. Very strange.)

It basically feels like no matter how much I eat or drink, my body absorbs no energy from the food. I feel famished, shaky, dizzy all the time, even after drinking three water bottles and eating a huge buffet meal.

Does diabetes sound logical? Is there anything else that my symptoms could be from? I will ask the doctor of course, but is there anything else pops into your mind?

Here are where I need answers- My doctor is not available until next Wednesday. Will I be okay waiting until then? In the meantime, is there anything I can do to keep these symptoms at bay until my appointment? How exactly do they test for diabetes? Do they just do a finger prick for blood or do they actually draw a vile of blood? The reason I ask is because the latter terrifies me. And honestly, I’m not sure if I could stay conscious.. I am so lightheaded everyday, and that’s when all of my blood is in my body!

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.. I really appreciate it and hopefully I’ll feel better soon!

Dieting alone may not help stave off type 2 diabetes; muscle mass, strength important
Sarcopenia — low skeletal muscle mass and strength — was associated with insulin resistance in both obese and non-obese individuals. It was also associated with high blood-sugar levels in obese people but not in thin people. These associations were stronger in people under age 60, in whom sarcopenia was associated with high levels of blood sugar in both obese and thin people, and with diabetes …

I am diagnosed “borderline diabetic” by my doctor. ….am probably even more across the “border” now since I have gained additional weight since diagnosed with borderline diabetes a while ago….and high blood pressure as well..due to being probably 95 lbs. overweight.
I feel weak when I try to diet…low fat…low carbs normal protein……grumpy…and hateful.
When I try to go on Atkins…that was HORRIBLE for causing water retention…more than my usual…from all the sodium involved in those protein overloads…….and bad for high blood pressure.It is imperative that I get on a eating style that will help me lose gradually, healthily, and PERMANENTLY……But, what is a good diet plan for my “almost” -(if not “for sure”) diabetes? I’m miserable…No energy….hurting legs and feet…I’m a hairstylist of 33 years old that stands on my feet all day…they swell due to that, being overweight, and hurt from the water in my ankles….much pain…..I feel 80 years old…..HELP…????

I am doing an assignment on diabetes and one of the questions that I am not sure about the answer is:

Is it more prevalent in poorer or more affluent countries and why?

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
