Hi everyone, newly diagnosed type 1 just over three weeks ago.
Like a lot of you my BG was 33 and ketones were 6.8. I had lost just over 10kg in 5 days, ended up in an ambulance and taken into A & E where they told me I had diabetes and was in full-blown DKA and lucky to be alive. The worst thing was I went to my GP the day before I was admitted and was told I didnt 'for the profile' of a diabetic and was given antacid tablets for my stomach pain. Probably the worst few days of my life.
Since then I've been reading and learning as much as I can and joined the forum to find some folks to talk to about stuff that my friends and family don't really understand. My DSN and dietician are amazing but I guess it's very different living with it every day...
