Type 1 & LADA

LOL! Insulin! That would be really funny if whiskey were part of my emergency kit. But it really does stop the liver from dumping. Love the taste but hate being drunk so it would be temporary. And binge drinking isn’t exactly healthy either but in short term drunk > dka??? Forgot about water. Yes that would be on the plan too for sure. I forget the exact bg where the insatiable thirst hits. 300’s maybe? At diagnosis in dka at 600 the thirst was insane and I was drinking water nonstop. I went hiking drank gross water out of the creek since I was so desperate (didn’t get sick!).
