Hey All, its been so long since ive been on this site. ive been missing it. i just recently got some internet back.Well, I'm here in DESPERATE need of help. Most of the insulin and supplies I got were from my brother. he had a webpage on facebook for those w/o insurance and in need of supplies. to donate. My dilema is the page was closed down about a month ago. and I'm so dangerously low on supplies. Would anyone have any Novolog, Lantus, or Syringes to spare? I'm severely in need. I'm down to…See More

Anonymous Jim replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"Haven't given it a thought I always keep my insulin within a couple feet of me and have seen what mismanagement can do first hand to family members.

rahrbunny replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"It is interesting to note that there are so many different answers on this forum. I read a quote once that applies : "Type 1 Diabetes is a unique experiment of one." How your disease manifests is largely unique to YOU. I have had T1 for 23…"
jeff211 replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"4 Hours and then it starts.... If youre type 1 and produce NO insulin ie. past honeymoon period you WILL die without insulin. You have to understand that technically a type 1 diabetic is on purely borrowed time. If it wasn't for modern medicine…"
Marps replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"Your body adjusts for the short-term glucose numbers. As your pancreas was dying, your base glucose levels slowly were increasing. When your pancreas was functioning, your base glucose would have been around 80. As your pancreas was quitting and…"
S Woodward replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"Simple answer, w/o insulin you can go until you die. Quite a simple answer. There are several stages in getting to the point that you have no insulin."
T1Forever replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"My endo says that without insulin, BG will go up 50-75 points per hour. So, to get from a starting point of 100 BG to 300BG could take anywhere from 2.5 to 4 hours, with no carbs ingested.
Don't go this way--take the insulin. It is better that…"

Anne replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"Well, I e.g. can't!
Even if it's just 1 or 2 units, if I skip my basal (not even purposely, a heavy delay is enough) my bg goes up withing a few hours. Significantly. It stays where it is or even gets lower WITH those 1-2U.

Kelly WPA replied to Johnny Crouton's discussion 'How long can a type 1 go without insulin.'"Why do you think pumpers keep ketone strips? Because if their pump is not working or they have a bad set in, their BS shoots up and they start burning ketones. Ask how many pumpers ended up in the ER after a pump failure. That is why it is also…"

It seems like when everything in life is thrown in your face, and you just cant take it anymore, you really seem to find out just how much friends help...
In the past 3 months everything has been a crazy blur of emotions. Life was already pretty hectic, pretty out of this world. And then all of a sudden, hey guy! you're a diabetic, and you get to poke yourself with lil needles everyday. Forever. Thats really taken a toll on me. It seems like I just want to crawl under a rock and do…

Life really is a roller coaster, it really can throw you a curve ball from time to time.
I found that out the hard way, I have a mother who is a type 2 diabetic, and my brother
is 24 now, has been type 1 since he was 2 years old.
It never once occured to me that, just maybe I could be prone to it.
I figured out I was wrong on July 22nd, this year.
I pretty much had every single sign of diabetes. I had lost like 120lbs in just like a…

- I'm sure Manny's going to get the word out soon. I know he's been working on a new video for Diabetes Awareness and WDD (I've seen his posts on Twitter) - meanwhile, here are some pictures from last year
http://www.tudiabetes.org/photo/photo/search?q=ferry+building
I do a lot of welcoming here on TuDiabetes and every time I see someone from SF join, I tell them to mark their calendars for the 14th. One of these years, I'm going to get out there for the event. Last year, my husband and I were in SF, and we had lunch with Manny and his wife, just a fantastic experience for me.

- hi Johnny, I hope you're having a good day. Say, do you ever get down to SF? Manny and all the bay area members have a big party at the Ferry Building on Nov 14 every year for World Diabetes Day. They light the ferry bld up in blue lights for the occasion. The pictures from last year looked great. and I'm sure there will be even more people there this year.
