I was diagnosed with Diabetes on Friday by my doctor who prescribed me Metaformin. He also recommended that if I didn't feel good to go to ER so they can test for kito acidosis- went to ER and was admitted for ketoacidosis. It is now Sunday- I injected myself with an insulin pen and syringe today for the first time. Even though the ketoacidosis wasn't good, I have got a good start to managing my diabetes in the hospital. I have met with an edocrinologist who is finding out the type of diabetes and a nutritionist. Today I will see a diabetes educator. I feel so relieved to know why I have felt awful and lost so much weight in the last couple of months. It's good to feel better.
