Livestream Well I figured I'd post an update here as well for my FA watchers. For those who didn't see my DA or don't watch me on DA here's the basis of where I have been the past 5 days.
On Thursday the 19th I went to Konza to get checked because I was feeling extremely ill for well over a week, I wasn't able to eat or drink anything without feeling nausea and I couldn't keep much down. To me, I thought I just caught a stomach bug and thought it would pass. Well, after heading in and getting some blood/urine test work done I was told that I would be going to the ER because I was extremely sick.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and I had actually suffered from DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis). So I had to be put on an IV and Insulin Drip for a few days and was rushed into the ICU while they worked to stabilize my Blood Sugar, etc. I wasn't allowed to eat for well over 24 hours and all I had was Ice Cubes to well keep my throat from being dry. Despite it all though for me it wasn't that bad, it was scary yes thinking on it (Because DKA is fatal if not treated immediately) but it could always have been worse.
Either way, after spending 5 days in there I am now home and with the knowledge of what to do with myself. I do 3 Insulin shots a day along with 1 more before going to bed and I am on 2 types of Insulin. Novolog, which is a quick fast acting one that I take before my breakfast and 2 hours after Lunch/Dinner, it basically lasts around 6 or so hours from what the doctor said. And then I have my Lantus, which is a slower acting insulin that lasts the entire day and I generally take that one before going to bed.
Nothings really changed much for me, I will be working on eating healthier and the like but the big thing is just doing my Finger pokes and actually just doing my insulin injections on time and keeping with my schedule that I sorta got down pact at the hospital.
But yeah, that's what's up with me. Kudos everyone, it's good to be back.
Certain fruits I have to watch out for because of things that can do that (Apples is one of them) but yeah, Bananas are pretty safe for me to eat.
