My 6 yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with Type 1. We have had no history of diabetes on both sides of the family. She had blood work done last September (2019) which was normal, and then she had an ER visit in feb for a stomach flu - they did urine and it was normal - they detected trace e-coli and discharged. And then this September she developed an infection and they did a glucose test and rushed us to the hospital with 400 plus glucose and ketones and diagnosed with T1D.
So this happened between feb and September. The only thing that happened is we all had covid - the entire family. Some had severe symptoms some had none. every one recovered. I have been running into more and more research pointing to COVID as the trigger of T1D. Am I delusional? I even came across research that this might not even be T1D, but a new form of D altogether.
Maybe I am in denial? She might be honeymooning because we see her basal going down from 6 units to 3 now... Has anyone come across any research that this might not be T1D?
