Insulin OD.

I'm curious if it's actually a CTB option? If it is, I'm also curious why it's not that common here since it sounds easy and painless from what I know.

I'm diabetic and I have access to insulin whenever I want to buy it. I am interested in why this isn't an option that is used more often.

Theoretically it's an option, but it's a dangerous one. It you take too much insulin, you will develop hypoglycemia (very low blood sugar levels). That can be fatal. However, you may just go into a hypoglycemic coma, in which your brain is severely damaged, and you are alive but totally helpless. You might remain in that state for years. Not good. It might, perhaps, be possible to choose the dose so that death is probable and a coma very unlikely, but I haven't been able to find any information that is particulaly relevant to that. Unless you can be sure that you understand this method well enough to be certain of getting the desired outcome - which would probably involve a lot of research in arcane medical publications - I would suggest you avoid this method.

I wondered why this method isn't as popular also. I've tried it and I can say SI are REALLY strong when you become hypoglycemic and I wound up literally crawling to my fridge and eating everything because I couldn't take the symptoms anymore. It felt like I waited FOREVER to become unconscious and it was miserable.

Did you take anything else along side it to combat SI? Like alcohol or benzos

No alcohol because I was fasting and most alcohol has a lot of sugar in it which would be countereffective. I may have taken some "as needed" meds for anxiety but I don't remember exactly what. I just know it wasn't an overdose of anything and obviously they didn't help enough.

An analysis of the effects of insulin overdose for suicidal purposes shows that 75–95% of cases end in full recovery, 1–3% in permanent neurological deficits, and 1–3% in death, doesn't look like a good option to me!
