Adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus Type I are at risk for depression and suicide, particularly suicide via insulin injection. A case presentation is used to examine the suicide attempt via insulin injection of an adolescent female with diabetes. The case is discussed, emphasizing the importance of screening for suicidal ideation, monitoring adolescents with diabetes and comorbid suicide-related thoughts and behaviors carefully, and addressing insulin management in safety planning procedures with these adolescents and their families.
