hello, I have type 1 diabetes and was wondering if it is safe to smoke weed/hash or take other drugs like LSD, peyote, mushrooms? Thanks
I don't see why it would not be. One of my good friends also has type 1 and she has done all of those drugs.
Hi, I have adult onset type one and have done all those drugs. The only one I've done post diagnosis is weed. This could be pretty boring. I don't know how good your control is or how far you are willing to deviate from your norm. But always think about your current glucose level and the time involved before you start. It will always be riskier for you! Think and consider before you start. With weed, I feel I am in control enough to watch my sugars as well as when sober. If you are going to be a newbie, it might be more disorienting and harder to stay on top of things. Time can be very confusing. You could easily think that it has been a long time since you have eaten, always verify time with a clock and meter before you take any eating or medication action. Of'course, there are the infamous munchies. I don't really get them, but I know a lot of people do. Be careful, it is hard enough to make the right decisions normally. The other drugs, I would almost really want a sober watcher that knows how to handle my diabetes. They go on longer and take much more of your attention away from this existence.
thanks everyone! i was diagnosed a month ago so I'm a total newbie. i've done all those drugs except for peyote before being diagnosed. i would like to try it one day but with DM1 now I'm not so sure it would be a good idea... maybe in a few years I will feel differently
