Hi,
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost 2 weeks ago. It came on all of a sudden when I thought I had a cold and it seemed to get worse and I ended up being rushed into hospital after collapsing at home. I was treated for ketoacidosis in critical care for almost a week. I've been home for almost a week now and I'm starting to get used to taking insulin and testing my bloods.
I take Levemir twice a day-once in the morning and again before bed- and novorapid before meals.
I generally feel okay about it all though there are times I feel overwhelmed and a little low about it-especially considering it's almost Christmas.
