As the year wraps up, share some of the challenges you faced and how you’re dealing/you’ve dealt with it.
Killed can be interpreted as either metaphorical or literal.
Did you experience any symptoms before the ketoacidosis that you dismissed or did not dawn on you as being a sign?
I sure did! I ended up losing a good 30 pounds, I was drinking double or triple the amount of water that I was a few months prior, and probably a few other things that I don’t remember. I sent a message to my primary doctor about my new symptoms and they told me to double up on my Metformin in the meantime. Since it turned out I was type 1, that wasn’t enough to save me until my next appointment.
And you weren’t a kid when this happened? I thought only kids got type 1.
No, adult onset for me. I think having it develop as a kid is more common, but it does happen to adults as well.
