same here. If type 1’s dont take insulin they die, period. Symptom onset is fast and its not a pleasant or fast death. All the type1s rationing insulin are cooking their organs and in some stage of the process of dying, and they feel it happening. The only option is to not eat any food at all and hope you can make the process of dying stretch out a bit. But as soon as you eat, the food turns to glucose (sugar) in the blood, your body cant use that sugar without insulin and it acidifies in your blood and cooks you.

Right. I starved even with food in T1 onset and then later got DKA, which was excruciating.
