Hi all. Brand new to the forum website. I have been round the houses with my diabetes. Starting with gestational then onto type 2 and for the last 5 years or so type 1. I have never been very good at controlling my blood sugars. I think I had been in denial as to how serious it was. I ate a lot of rubbish and would skip doses of insulin. Recently I had what I thought was severe heartburn but it was actually DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) I ended up being rushed into hospital by ambulance and almost died. Thankfully I'm still here to tell the tale. I just wondered if anyone else had had experience of it and did it give you the wake up call you needed (like it did me). Thanks
