How was I diagnosed?
I found out that I had diabetes when I was on Vacation. Before I left for Florida in March, my New Year Resolution was to loose weight, so all I drank was water, and a lot of it. I enrolled in weight loss programs at my local Y, and lost about 1/2lbs a day. (On average) so I am soon going from 200lb down down and down. I am not thinking much of it because I worked out all the time. Also, I had to go to the bathroom all the time, but again, I thought nothing of it because I was drinking a lot of water. So in March we go down to Florida and I didn't eat a single thing, I spend the whole time sleeping, and as a last minute surprise we go to Universal Studios. When we are there, I could not walk more than 100 feet with out stopping. I fell asleep on every ride because I did not have to do anything. At lunch, I drank 4 Extra Large Mountain Dews and threw up several times. So- we went back to the condo. On the way to Orlando Airport, I threw up 2 times at the airport, and on the plane I threw up 4 times. When we landed, I got a Gatorade and threw up again. When we got to town I went to the local Walk in Clinic, and they checked my blood sugar, it was over 1,000. I was on two IV drips and sent to the ER. When I got there, Dad was already waiting with my dog, so that was the only highlight of the vacation. After a 2 hour wait in the ER, I was sent down to another hospital where I was officially diagnosed with T1. Share your story! Comment Below!
