Diagnosed via DKA at age 27. Ironically, I went to the doctor for a severe sinus cold and was sent home with a prescription of antibiotics and decongestants. I took my medicines and went to bed Friday night. I awoke Monday in ICCU was told that I was a Type 1 Diabetic. They told my family that I would not wake up. I've dedicated my life since to helping other diabetics, even became a board member of my local diabetes charity!
