~it’s just easier to live with it.~
Then why did people die from Type 1 before the invention of inuslin?
~Acc. to you every patient that goes into DKA should die, but we do manage to control the DKA most of the time and then we give the insulin.~
How would you control DKA without insulin??
Like allgr8 mentioned the root of all the complications you listed above is from a lack of insulin!
and to clarify the “pump language” bolus is insulin given when eating or correcting (I don’t bolus when I fast) basal is the background insulin needed even w/o food, and this is REQUIRED when fasting.
