Q. I love him dearly and im hurting to see him going through such a terrible disease. But i know i have to be strong for him but i want to do more to help him go through it. He's diabetic 2 and taking shots 2x a day. Im even planning to take some nursing course just to understand his disease even better.
Thanks for all great answers...sometimes he could be so stubborn and a pain in the ass, but would never ever leave him only because he's sick with diabetes.
yes, i'd been doing a lot of readings and research about diabetes on the internets, books, articles, doctors...but i guess, i only need some moral support from people who also undergoing this situation and you guys didnt diasppoint me. I think more than the physical aspect of diabetes I am more concern on the emotional effect such as depression...and by the way he's also diagnosed with high readings of triglycerides. Love u all!

A. Going to nursing school is a nice idea, but it will be awhile before you get the training you need there to help him.
I would suggest that you do some more research on the Internet, and talk to a Diabetes specialist to get as much information as possible. There are things that you can do to be prepared to help him should the need arise, for your sake and his. For instance, should he have a sudden episode of low blood sugar--hypoglycemia, and need glucose tablets, OJ, etc. Or, a high blood sugar--hyperglycemia, and need water, insulin, or more urgently emergency response (911).

How much insulin can kill you if you are non diabetic? Would it be painful to die from an insulin overdose?
Q. Im just wondering how much insulin would it require to kill you. I don't know much about it although my cousin is a diabetic. I am not a diabetic. How much insulin would it take? Would it be painful or would it just knock you out and you die.
A. As far as dying, it would depend upon the amount & type of insulin. There are some slow-acting insulins that work over a 24-hour period. Then there are fast-acting insulins, some faster than others. Also, it would depend on how much of the insulin was injected.
I gave you that information, but I wouldn't tell you what would be a dangerous level. There is always the risk of someone else reading this. I wouldn't want to risk putting anyone in danger.
If someone thought that injecting insulin would be an easy way to die, they would be wrong. It doesn't just make you sleepy & knock you out & then kill you. You would have severe symptoms, starting with the shakes & then nausea & vomiting. Gradually, you would begin to have seizures & have chest pain. Eventually, you would go into a coma; but there is no guarantee that you would die. You could be left seriously brain damaged or suffer heart problems. You could end up in a coma or a vegetative state which means you can hear what's going on but can't move or speak. That would be a fate worse than death.

Dietetics
Dietetics is the science and art of applying the principles of food and nutrition to health. Dietitians have special skills in translating scientific and medical decisions related to food and health to inform the general public. They have an important role in health promotion. As described by the American Dietetic Association, dietetics is a vital, growing profession with many career possibilities. No matter whether you choose a career in clinical, community, management, food service, consulting, or business, you'll share your knowledge of food and nutrition to help people make healthful food choices. Dietitians like to work with people.
Special Opportunities
IU has a Dietetics and Nutrition Club for students. This club allows seniors to mentor sophomores and juniors and provides opportunities for planned community nutrition efforts. The Department of Applied Health Science has two laboratories dedicated to the dietetics and nutrition science program: a nutrition lab and a foods lab. Dietetics majors start to interact directly with program faculty beginning in the sophomore year. Classroom activities include labs (applying the science and art of food preparation), community projects, planning and preparing a special event meal for students in the halls of residence, designing a research project, and learning in-depth about special issues in nutrition. Research opportunities with faculty may include already existing projects or designing your own under faculty guidance. The program's location in HPER allows students and faculty to focus beyond nutrition, to the areas of fitness, health, and leisure.
Careers
Dietitians promote healthy eating habits so that people can prevent or treat illnesses. IU dietetics graduates go on to complete a supervised practice experience (internship) and are then eligible to take a national exam to become a Registered Dietitian (R.D.). R.D.'s are the recognized nutrition health care professionals.
R.D.'s may choose to work in clinical settings such as hospitals, HMOs, extended care facilities, nutrition clinics, or private practice, in order to work as part of a health care team and to work one-on-one with people in the treatment and prevention of disease. Community-based R.D.'s counsel individuals and groups on nutritional practices designed to prevent disease and promote health. Management R.D.'s often oversee large-scale meal planning and preparation in health care facilities, schools, universities, restaurant chains, or private industry. A growing number of R.D.'s work in business, journalism, marketing, sports nutrition, and corporate wellness programs. Dietitians who enjoy research may prefer the food industry in which they can work in research and development of food products, services, or educational programs, or in major medical centers where clinical research is conducted. With advanced degrees, dietitians may pursue careers in dietetics education.
Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Applied Health Science
The dietetics program is nationally developmentally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA).
