We play a nebulous limited 1D. It can be 6D/4M or 5D/5C or balanced or 3-suited without a 5-cd major.

When it goes 1D dbl P P

or

1D P P dbl

how do we escape when we don't have diamonds?

SOS redouble plays big here: "I have 0-4xD - where do we play?".
Some escapes will be clear, eg. 2C with 2-3D+5C.

I think it matters a bit whether LHO or RHO doubles. For example, a rdbl over RHO's double could actually be best used to say "I have diamonds, don't run".
