Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with T1D this April after landing in the hospital with severe DKA (I passed out at home and woke up in the hospital - lost 2 days and don’t remember anything). I was in there for 13 days.
I was sent home with insulin and have regular appointments with the endocrinologist at the hospital. I think because I’m pretty overweight (I actually went into DKA doing the keto diet to lose weight) she thinks that I’m T2D, even though the hospital said I’m T1D. She had me give my blood so they could do an anti-GAD test to make certain which type I have. It’s been 3 months and they haven’t gotten my results back.
Has this happened to anyone else? I feel really anxious about it, and everyone around me who doesn’t have, know about or understand diabetes is silently judging me because of my weight, as thought it’s all my fault. I I’m just incredibly nervous and wondering if I’m not alone. Sorry for the long post, and I appreciate all of you.
