| An instance of several people surviving days without insulin -- during Katrina. Remember the video to one of the news websites where a nurse "saved" a type 1 diabetic female who hadn't had insulin in days, and she was saved with just "5 units of Lantus"?
DKA and going without insulin are two different things. You can take the same type 1 person, remove insulin from them, and do different things to them (exercise, food, water intake) and cause severe DKA in different cases.
Erich, thanks for your post! What type of insulin do you currently use? Have you ever had your pro-insulin levels checked? A minority of Type 1's may actually have a genetic form of diabetes that can be resolved with Type 2 medications (sulfonureas, I think). |
