Hi all. My son (17m old) got diagnosed with T1 diabetes. I just joined and looking forward learning stuff!

Hi!

5 days ago my son was brought into the hospital after a video call with a doctor. My sons symptoms were as follows: very pale, had trouble breathing, blue lips and cold hands. He could barely stand or walk and was very weak in general. He then also started to rolling his eyes in the back of his skull. It was very scary for his mom and me.

The doctors told us later that he had a blood sugar level of 30 and his pH-value was similar to a dead person. He now recovers and we have to learn to live with the new situation. Thanks to the internet I already know a lot of new things on how to deal with all this. I think joining this subreddit will help me and my family to get through all this. Thanks for reading!

P.S.: Not a native english speaker, please excuse potential mistakes. If anything was unclear, just ask.

Cheers
