Some of you may have noticed my Mom, 1505helen, posting on here in her frantic state the past couple of days. For me these past couple of days are so surreal. Diabetes is something that I have heard about on tv several times and what not but its not something you ever think would happen to yourself, and personally I don't know anyone who has it either.
Anyway safe to say I am feeling so much better than yesterday! After having blood tests at my local minor injuries unit and finding out I have high BG levels and high ketone levels I was pretty much sent to Good Hope hospital in Sutton Coldfield. Turned out I had to end up there for the night but at least everything is sorted now.
Would so recommend going there for anything related to diabetes they were so helpful, kept me calm which helped keep my Mom calm, so reassuring and gave me clear information and didn't overload it, I felt in control again but not stressed about it
Gave an injection to myself for the first time about an hour ago, not so scary! Looking forward to hearing from anyone about their first days of having diabetes!
