Contact your doctor Marie and talk it over with him.
My doctor voted for O. :(
Even if she were sympathetic, it wouldn’t help us much. The problem is that insulin can’t be stockpiled. It won’t last more than 6 months or so if the fridge doesn’t go out. One month without refrigeration. Less than a week if we have no A/C and it’s 95’.
It hits so close to home because we almost lost him three and a half years ago when we moved here in August. Even though we kept his insulin in the cooler, it wasn’t cold enough and it went bad - fast. It took too long to figure out what the problem was (he’s on a pump, so troubleshooting can sometimes be difficult). Only 6 hours after he started rising we had to rush him to the ER. At that time he was already over 800.
I think that if we fed him a steady diet of only rabbit meat, a vitamin/mineral supplement and *lots* of water, that would by him some time. (no carbs or fat) But it wouldn’t be pretty and he’s starve to death eventually.
The only solution is to make it.
Type 1 diabetics in third world countries don’t live - ever.
