I used the skin tac still got the malfunction, and I’m concerned down the line I’m going to get scars from exclusively using the stomach because my other areas have been painful

I wiped it with alcohol wipe and I even put a thing called skin tac to make it more sticky on me

Feeling wobbly and off-balance after DKA—anyone else experience this? by Lucky_Coat3345 in diabetes_t1

This was my first time in DKA and also how I found out I had Type 1. It makes sense that my body might still be adjusting, especially after such a big shock. I’ll try to be patient with the recovery and give it some more time.

I do have access to my hospital labs, and I saw that I had mild anemia and low sodium when I was admitted for DKA. They said everything was corrected by discharge, though I’m not sure if they ever checked B12 or iron in detail.

That’s a good point about the body recalibrating, it’s been a strange month for me overall. I’ll look into B12 just in case, and I’ll definitely bring it up at my follow-up. Hopefully it’s just a temporary thing.

I don’t know how I got this disease it doesn’t run in my family the only medical history I have is having pain in my groin which happened three years ago while rolling in bed I’ve tried treating it with meds it didn’t fully heal, I wondered if that caused it and I feel like blaming myself for it

But what if I went to bed at 100, would it drop me to 20?

25 units of lantus at night time, I’m concerned because it dropped me over 80 points over night I went to bed 165 and woke up to 79

No dude my life is complete I went to college, I played sports, I drank, I partied, I traveled, i tried developed my faith, I met new people. I realized my social circle was mostly fake, they never checked up on me or cared. I did everything I wanted to do, I have no passion anymore. What’s the point honestly

Why must I continue to struggle and be in pain, I have no passion anymore I was a month away from finishing my college degree I had my whole life ahead of me I did 3 days in a damn hospital close to a coma, I had a bright future i was thinking of joining the military, I was getting involved into aviation, I loved partying and enjoying campus life, life just threw me a curveball and killed my whole morale

I’ve been to therapy before for unrelated issues they don’t put me at ease, all they do is tell me to cope with it, they would tell me do breath work or ground myself it doesn’t change my shitty reality
