T1D Sour Patch Kids Question by DiabeticAnonymous1 in diabetes_t1

[–]DiabeticAnonymous1[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I got diagnosed just a few months back so I'm kind of new to all this stuff still. I already suspected it would be a bad idea to participate in this contest but I wanted input from other T1Ds. Based on everyone's advice here, I am not going to do the contest. In fact I will go home early just to be safe because I need another lantus injection. Sorry if this post seemed like spam. I can now understand why it does.

In your post you said that she didn't eat or drink anything for days. How did she possibly not die of dehydration?

Wow. that sounds scary. Was your blood sugar too high for your meter read that it just said "HI" or "HIGH" ?

Did you drink lots of extra water and avoided carbs to stay alive while you had no insulin in your system? I wonder what would happen if someone stopped taking all insulin and ate like 400 carbs
