Just curious,
@SueJB , there's been a lot of posts by people who've had uncertain diagnoses, docs say they're T1, then they say it's T2, and with others it the other way around.
Is there any suggestion that the docs aren't quite sure with you yet?
If the T1 dx is confirmed, I agree with the other posters - if you stop taking insulin, you'll die a hideous death.
The only saving grace is that you'll be unconscious for most of it so it won't be that painful for you, but your family won't thank you much for putting them through it.
I was misdiagnosed as having "exam stress" when I was first taken to hospital.
Getting taken back the next day unconscious with full on dka, kussmauls breathing, parents being told I'd probably not wake up, took it into a different area.
If your T1 dx is confirmed, don't mess around with some of the frankly lunatic insulin avoidance tactics which are widely promoted by non-T1 people.
