My friend has type 1 diabetes and she wanted to know if its safe to do Shrooms?

Question

She really wants to but I am worried that it might cause a lot of trouble with her Blood Glucose.

So i just want to be able to give her a honest answer and know what I am talking about.

Answer 1

The biggest problem would be an inability to control blood sugar after taking them.  A bad reaction could cause her to throw up which would mess with her blood sugar further.  She might mistake the warning signs of hypoglycemia with the effects of the shrooms, which would be extremely bad.  The psychadelic effects could also influence her to eat things that she shouldn't.

Shrooms are a bad idea in the first place; I've had friends react very badly, still feeling the effects several days later.  I'm the last one who would preach, but there are safer ways than shrooms to have fun.

Answer 2

Let me be completely honest with you. I have been a diabetic since a yr old. Throughout my teens and college yrs I have done things like mushrooms, ecstasy, tattoos, piercings, etc. Here's what I have learned, always make sure she checks her blood sugars throughout the whole thing. A few times I took them I heard voices and wasn't sure if I was low or not, it freaked me out. As long as she checks often and eats a good high carb meal 2hrs before tripping she should be fine. Just be safe. I made lots of mistakes when I was younger and learned a ton. Mushrooms never affected my sugar but please be sensible.

Answer 3

Hallucinogenic mushrooms (Psilocybin/Psilocin Mushrooms) should not have any direct effect on your friend's blood sugar.

Psilocybin/Psilocin mushrooms can, however, cause neurotransmitter disruption.  They act on the nervous system in a manner similar to that of antidepressants--they block the re-uptake (excretion) of serotonin so that your body has more serotonin.

This extra serotonin can cause increased heart rate, nausea, restlessness, and of course hallucinations, which is why people eat the mushrooms.

Bottom line?  When you eat shrooms, you're s******g up your neurotransmitters.  My personal opinion is that it isn't safe for anyone to eat them, even if they don't have diabetes.

Answer 4

Taking Magic Mushrooms isn't too intelligent in the first place... especially for a diabetic.
