The only thing that truly touched my soul on this journey so far is “take this disease one day at a time”. You’re not always eat “good” or have good numbers but you can always start new the next day. It really helped me care for my daughter without worrying about what’s going to happen next week

Never forget that diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is not caused by hyperglycemia. It is caused by the lack of enough insulin in the bloodstream. If you choose to avoid eating for some reason and think that means you shouldn't take insulin, you are putting yourself at risk. People can, and DO develop DKA when the blood glucose is in a normal range. Don't think what you are feeling can't be DKA. It may very well be. Use a ketostick to check yourself and get help if necessary.

You have a choice. You can either not pay attention to your blood sugar, letting it run high and end up with complications in the future, or you can choose to keep your blood sugar in range and live a long, healthy life.

Learn as much as you can, do the best you can within rules, diet n meds, see doc regularly. Accept your reality and move on with a good, positive attitude. It is n will be tough but it is what it is n you can't roll back to "BEFORE".

I've been a type 1 for 46 years. It's just a way of life for me. I never dwell on the negative. In fact I don't think I'm any different than anyone else. I just do things differently. I'm 70 and right now I'm at my healthiest. Just had blood work done and my numbers are all in the normal range. My A1C is 5.0. 👍
