christy replied to Blondie's discussion 'Movie Goofs Regarding Type 1 Diabetes'"Thanks Tim, yes that's pretty much what I call full blown DKA too, there's no getting out of that one short of going to the hospital. I don't consider if Im spilling some Ketones or peeing a lot, or even being more thirst full blown…"
Toddy replied to Blondie's discussion 'Movie Goofs Regarding Type 1 Diabetes'"I remember, right after being diagnosed, walking around in the 500's and feeling perfectly "fine" (so I thought)...*shrug*"
Tim replied to Blondie's discussion 'Movie Goofs Regarding Type 1 Diabetes'"The way I think about... spilling some ketones is not full-blown DKA. Having to pee because bg is too high, is not in itself full-blown DKA either.
I remember in the weeks before I went into deep DKA peeing a lot, and being thirsty all the time, but…"

Beth said… I just accepted your friend request from Aug. I haven't been on this site for awhile! Your son is very handsome. Hope things are going well for you. My son Alex will be 11 in March and we are looking at leaving shots behind and finally starting a pump. The omnipod looks like the best choice for us. Alex is ready for more independence since he will be starting middle school next year.

- Hi Jayson! It's nice to hear from another Edmontonian. Thanks for the advice on the book. I definitely need to read a few books on Type 1. I know I'll be spending a lot of time on this site and I'm sure we will be chatting again.

Jayson said… - Hello and welcome! I also live in edmonton! I was diagnosed 4 years ago and can still remember the shock and fear I was in. May I suggest a great read.... it's called diabetes for canadian dummies. :-) Great book for recently dx diabetics! Take care and I hope to chat with you in the future!

Lorraine said… - Hi Chris's Mom. Doris Ann brought me to your attention. My son is 5. Was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. As I understand it this is all very new to you. How wonderful that you have already found this support group. Ask, vent and ask any and all questions you have. It can all be very very overwhelming at the beginning. I remember it well. It does get easier - it really does. I know it may be hard to comprehend that right now, but it does.
