I'm a diabetic. I have been so for 10 years. It'll be 11 in february. My symptoms were, frequent urniation, tired, thirsty. AT first my parents thought it was the flu because my brother was sick. But he got better and I kept getting worse, as it got woirse, I had trouble breathing, then I had terrible pains in my sides and legs. The night before I went into the hospital I slept with my mother so she could keep an eye on me, and I was in terrible pain I could barely walk. The next morning I couldn't move. I couldn't get out of bed. My mum had to dress me, and they took me to the hospital. by the time I got there I couldn't walk, stand. I had my parents and the nurse hold me up, so they could do triage. The nurse actually knew what it was right away and asked my family if there was a history of diabetes in the family and my parents said they didn't know. I was rushed into a room and I was on insulin with in half an hour. Later the doctor said that if my parents had waited another day to bring me in I would have been in a comma. I had really bad symptoms.
So that's my story.
