| I was diagnosed Type 1 at 3 years of age. Without my mom caring for me during that first decade, I wouldn't be here today. From what I have been told, I was drinking lots of liquids and urinating frequently. My mom took me to the ped. where they simply thought she was a lunatic mom (they never took a BG reading), a day later she took me back, they did the BG reading (too high to be read by a meter), later that day I was admitted to the hospital for about a week to stabalize/have my mom & dad learn this new way of life (lucky for them they had some experience as my grandfather was a type 1). Luckily, I suppose, I do not remember life without it.
It would be a weird concept for me not to test my BG or take insulin. An odd consideration nontheless. |
