Default DKA Diagnosed Diabetes

My name is Shelly and I was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes after suffering Diabetic Ketoasidosis and spending 4 days in the ICU. It was horrible! My body was shutting down, but my life was spared and I survived. The disease is a blessing in disguise and my life has changed completely. I've lost 45lbs and my last A1c was 6.3%! I feel great, I have more energy, and I'm off all insulin and only take Metformin 2x. Diabetes sucks, is unpredictable, annoying, time consuming, and mind consuming, but it also saved my life.
