Ahh yes, the starvation diet is back on the menu for type 1's, boys!
I recall back in the day the longest anyone lived on the starvation diet before insulin developed was a year or 2.
depends on how far along typ1 diabetes damages the iselt cells in the pancreas. the diet most likely wont work if you cant produce insulin anymore, especially you can get unreliable walmart reliant otc isulin. theres a slow decline insulin production as your islet beta cells get destroyed.
one of the rare ways around it if someone is on immunosuppressants all the time from organ transplant.
Yeaaah, between an organ transplant and taking immunosuppressant the rest of my life, or just continuing to take insulin, I think I'll take insulin.
