What happens if you dont eat and dont take insulin.

[thinkingofname]

So what would happen if you were only to eat very little, take no insulin but still have a normal blood glucose level throughout the day. It happened to me once, once i recall i only ate a boiled egg in the morning and a salad with egg and cheese for dinner, i decided not to take any insulin and my BG was normal throughout the day.

Im type 1 diabetic so i produce no insulin anyways, but would you die if you kept going on like that? just curious thanks

Your levels would go high yes as why we take basal insulin. The body needs it to keep background levels normal

As long as you have your background insulin, you'll be fine.
