General Insulin tampering by malice

[Bagheera0084]

Note: This question cannot be asked to doctors because this question is about sabotage and malice and doctors are likely to avoid controversy by suggesting buying new cartridge (of insulin) and if the new one is also spoilt, they will make same suggestion again and again. Doctors may even suggest buying a new expensive cartridge everyday! It should be understood that doctors may not give the answer in such controversial matter, even if they know it.

I keep insulin cartridge (fitted in the pen injection) in refrigerator and take it out only for a short while for administering the injection to the patient. I check blood glucose levels readings by using the blood glucose levels monitoring device 4 times a day. Each time I do double check - once by applying spirit to skin and once without applying spirit, so that there should be no error. That means totally I do the checking 8 times a day! Only on 25% of occasions, the blood glucose levels readings are in normal range like 150-180mg/dL. All other times (that means 75% of times) I found the blood glucose levels readings to be in the range of 330mg/dL, 400mg/dL and sometimes as high as 520mg/dL! The amount of food the patient eats is moderate. The amount of insulin given is 20units in morning and 10units at night. Sometimes I increase the dose to 20units in morning and 20units at night. Often the patient urinates excessively. And the normal levels (controlled levels of 150-180mg/dL) of blood glucose readings are usually seen when there's a considerable gap between meals.

So my question is, is the insulin being tampered such that it becomes ineffective? If indeed, insulin is being tampered to make it ineffective, how is it being done? Or is the insulin cartridge simply being switched such that it works only on 25% of occasions and other times it is ineffective?

Indians have the highest propensity to get di-bheetuss.

Knew quite a few Indian engineers who had it.

Till my father's death in November 2015 he would regularly take my mother to doctor for diabetes checkup. After his death I kept postponing my mother's diabetes checkup due to following reasons:

i) Anxiety about other problems like job security.

ii) I was under the impression that diabetes consultation is expensive. In fact, as early as 2018 or even 2017, I had once taken mother to ESI doctor because I thought ESI option costs less. Later I found out that regular diabetes checkup is affordable. What is expensive is treatment of complications arising due to diabetes but the regular checkup of sugar levels and regular medication for many diabetes patients is affordable.

For a long period from early 2016 to mid-2021 I allowed her sugar levels to rise extremely. I excuse myself for the month of December 2015. The increase in my mother's sugar levels happened because there was neither restrictions on her diet nor medication. She would eat rice items like dosa, idli, anna-sambar and sometimes high sugar stuff like mangoes. This harm stopped only in July 2021 when I finally took her to a proper diabetologist. After that I would give her only the right food and also the newly prescribed medicines.

Nowadays I am furious with my relatives for spiking my mother's sugar levels by carelessly feeding her rice, mangoes, tea containing sugar etc. They don't listen when I forbid them. They are also unwilling for doctor's consultation. They have been causing the spike in sugar levels since 5-6 weeks.

But I forgot that I did the same for 5-6 YEARS!! Later it occurred to me. If I had controlled the sugar levels when the situation was in my control, the current spike of few weeks wouldn't have mattered much. The difference between relatives and me is that they are doing it wittingly whereas I did it due to worries about other problems.

Anyway, I like to imagine 'what if I had controlled my mother's sugar levels during all those years'. The following thoughts occur to me:

1. The current spike in sugar levels would have been acceptable.

2. The question of current spike in sugar levels being acceptable or unacceptable wouldn't have arisen. Below is explained how:

Due to neglect of sugar levels during the period 2016-2021, complications about my mother's health started. Due to these complications I was forced to take help of relatives I don't like. Thus the root cause of relatives messing up the sugar levels currently may actually be MY negligence during those years.

Sadly Pakistanis are even more likely, the most likely in the world (if you're referring to diabetes).

There seems to be a viral link to type 1 di-bheetuss. Many Indians are susceptible to this virus. The incidence of this particular disease has reached epidemic levels in the subcontinent.

Yes - Pakistanis as well. We half an Indic population but we are not 'Indians' as you call it.
