Diagnosed 12/18 Type 1
I will keep this short - I was diagnosed as a Type 1 on December 19, 2009. I admitted myself into hospital extremely sick on that day. Blood sugar when I went in was at 1166 (determined only thru lab analysis). I was in full tachycardia with 180 bpm and a blood pressure of 170/110.
After nearly 24 hours of insulin pump and fluids, I got down to where their BG machines could read my blood sugar levels. Took almost 2 days to stablize my blood sugar and rehydrate me.
After recovering, my doctors had told me that I probably had 4 hours to go when I came in on that Saturday morning and it would have been at best a coma for me. And to think I was going to push myself and go in on the following day, Sunday. The doctors said had I laid down on that Saturday, I probably wouldnt have woken up. Anyway, I finally got to leave the hospital after 4 days.
I have been doing good since. Actaully feel the best I have in a long time.
