Hi, I'm Gracie, and I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes about 2 weeks ago. My family had been sick for the past week, and so we thought I just had the flu. And it seemed like it too, because I was throwing up, my stomach hurt, I had headaches, etc. But then, things just went downhill. I couldn't walk without wanting to collapse, I didn't eat, it hurt to just sit there, I couldn't stay awake, and people had to carry me places. It was terrible. So one night, my older sister carried me to my bed. I immediately fell asleep. A while after that, my next door neighbor woke me up. At first I was really confused, then I remembered he was a doctor, and also goes to my church. He gave me a blessing, which is a special prayer to bless and help me in my situation. Right after he left my room, I fell asleep. I was woken up a second time by my parents. My dad picked me up and said, "We're taking you to the hospital."

Gracie you are so brave. I am so proud of you and so grateful you are sharing your experience and knowledge. Thank you. Would it be ok if I put a link to your blog on my blog? I think you could be a great help an inspiration to a lot of people. Hugs!

Yes I'm totally fine with you putting a link to my blog on yours. :). And thank you for that!
DeleteMy son is almost 11 and was diagnosed when he was 8. Sounds like you experienced the same things as him. He could bearly move, was tired all the time and had lost a lot of weight. He was already a skinny kid. All no fun.
ReplyDeleteNo fun at all! But it's a good thing we have this technology to treat us :).
