Yes, agree. Thank God that hasn’t happened, although it was close for my parents (as they nearly lost a kid, my brother, and a grandchild...but both are good now).
Just as a suggestion, perhaps talk to your doctor to see if insulin doses can be lowered a bit for her, if she stays away from carbs. It should help, as it certainly does with Type 2’s, but I’m sure it won’t end the dependence (nothing will), but using less may make supplies last longer, should they get disrupted in some way.
The insulin is mostly in my estranged wife’s hands, and she and I couldn’t agree what day of the week it is.
With optimal strategy, I imagine that one could stretch things out for maybe 50% longer (there is a fair bit of this behaviour in One Second After). I think if I suggested anything, my girl would mostly be subjected to suffering through seeing her parents fight over her. She’s the only one of the six who still frequently vocalizes hope that we will somehow patch things up.
I can see scenarios where things turn bad, but Ottawa itself rides it out better than nearly any other city (it’s a d*** G-7 capital after all) and that we are close enough to be able to stay supplied if supplies get tight.
I bet if push comes to shove, Ottawa will let Montreal and Toronto burn, but we are, as it were, in the Ottawa Marches.
