Guys, please don’t even think about trying this because you will absolutely die. Don’t tell your grandma to try this because there’s a 110% change that she will kill herself doing this.
I cannot stress enough how incredibly dangerous this is. I believe that they recently changed the law to stop making generic older insulin available without prescription specifically to prevent people from trying this trick which will absolutely kill you.
Don’t even change from one brand to another without checking with an expert or, again, YOU WILL DIE. For example, if you take Lantus (which I take) and ran out and wanted to borrow someone’s Tresiba (which my aunt takes) by injecting the same amount I normally do…..I would quite possibly die and/or gorge myself on ice cream for 24 hours to stave off death because Tresiba is twice as strong as Lantus.
*IF* you need/want to switch to a generic insulin you *can* find people who will give you the guidance you need. You can start by calling 1-800-DIABETES to reach the ADA helpline and they can connect you with a community education resource.
This National Coming Out Day, remember that the process of coming out can be scary & awkward, and there’ll be times in your life where you’ll have to come out all over again to new groups of people. It’s ok to take your time with it. Don’t feel pressured. Figuring yourself out is not a race. And most importantly, YOU know yourself better than anyone else!
Imagine a villain getting injured and losing their memory and the heroes finding them and taking them with them and taking care of them and the villain gets their memory back after like a week but doesn’t want to say anything because the heroes are being so nice to them and nobody has been that nice to them in so long and they don’t want it to end and they’re maybe getting fond of the heroes but don’t tell anyone shhh. But eventually something happens and the heroes are in trouble and they’re trying to get the villain to run away because they still think they’re an amnesiac with no idea how to defend themself and they’ve grown to like them and don’t want them to get hurt but the villain just pushes past them toward whatever is trying to hurt the heroes and just fuckin goes guns blazing and destroys them
