You're not the only one who does this. I also do this. Besides my diabetes, I have bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, panic attacks, and social phobias. My self-injury besides cutting (yes I will admit to doing it) is not taking my insulin like I'm supposed to. This has landed me in DKA two times both in ICU. Hasn't happened lately because I seem to take it when I come close. I'm on medication to help with this but it doesn't always work properly.
I guess the reason I do it is because I think that it will help everyone around me in the long run if I'm not around, but then I realize that my husband needs me and I take my insulin which is usually right before I'm getting sick. In my manic moods I don't think that I need it because nothing can hurt me and I'm too busy to take it. If I'm depressed I'm too down to take it. I dont want to get out of bed.
