This is a horrible way to go too...

Casey Johnson died because she simply did not take care of herself ... sources connected with the autopsy tell TMZ.

The L.A. County Coroner says the cause of death was "Diabetic Ketoacidosis" and the manner of death was "natural."

But our sources say the Coroner's findings clearly show Johnson -- who died at 30 -- was not taking her insulin shots, was not exercising, did not follow her strict diet and was not taking other medicines she needed.

Diabetic Ketoacidosis is a technical term for lack of insulin, which often leads to a diabetic coma. We previously reported where Johnson was hospitalized for diabetic comas at least twice before her death.

She must have been miserable leading up to her death.  I've heard that you feel like hell in that condition (Diabetic Ketoacidosis). 

Re: This is a horrible way to go too...

  • I was thinking she was on a bunch of other stuff that probably skewed her judgment and memory, so she didn't feel/know that she wasn't getting her insulin.

  • There is a janitor at work like this. He always complains about his health and diabetes, but steals candy from people's desk.

  • And also my uncle, who has been in and out of the hospital for a year and a half.  All the result of not taking proper care of his diabetes. 

  • Keto makes you smell too. Like nail polish remover smell.

    I'm not all that surprised that she just let it go. She clearly wasn't happy with her life. This was a way to (try to) end it without being a suicide.

  • 'course, once your insulin/sugar levels get off, you get a bit crazy...and you loose the ability to recognize that your sugarl evels are off.

     Sad that no one was catching this for her though.

    A bit crazy? A person gets insane. My sGrandmother goes apeshyt and it's usually in the middle of the night. Then everyone has to rush to her house and hold her down until they can give her shots/sugar-stuff. (Depending on if she's high or low.) 

    The worst time my sDad had brusies and she had bruises even on her face/jaw from him having to manhandle her.

    Crazy.

    (Edit: I think hers is actually too much insulin and not eating enough before going to bed.)

    .
  • well, 'a bit crazy' is an understatement...

    but when gramps gets off, I tell him he NEEDS to eat/take his shot/etc and he very quickly goes from 'off' to 'normal sweet self'.

    But even at 'off' he's not THAT crazy. (in fact, when he's argumentative, the first thing we do is check his sugar levels)

     

    My one cousin...I don't think I'd be able to be in the room, ordering her to eat...I'd have to call the damn cops. (but she leans toward crazy w/o the blood sugar issues.
