I was diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic 34/12/13, Started off on insulin injections, three short acting and one long-acting insulin before bed, 4insulin injections per day.
Recurring DKA - approx six times per year but always have high ketones but low blood sugar last time 8 ketones and 1.1 blood sugar.
3-5 hypos per week.
Lost job of 11 years in council due to recurring hypos (capability)
Haven't driven for eight years due to hypos
Lost relationship
Became anxious - only left house three times in last six months due to fear of seizures or hypos (had a fit in a supermarket and on a bus and woke up a day later in hospital due to insulin overdose)
Begged NHS to investigate. Was i really diabetic? Alwasy dismissed and laughed at.
Finally got a nurse to take me seriously.
06/06/2022 - informed that my original test results do not indicate i am diabetic. Told to stop insulin immediately and assured they investigate.
Now what? Such a bizzarre ten years. ;-)
