A Doctor's Error Almost Killed Me

- Type 1 diabetes affects millions of people all over the world; most being children. Type 1 diabetes is when our blood sugar levels are too high from low levels of insulin. In short, insulin helps the cells in your body absorb the glucose (sugar). Without it, your blood will be overrun with high blood sugar levels leading to heart, eyes, kidneys, nerve, and gum damage because your blood is too acidic. This is known as Diabetic Ketoacidosis or DKA and if left untreated, it could be life-threatening. Your body begins destroying itself from the inside out. This is what happened to this person due to a misdiagnosis at the hospital.
At 10 years old, you don't really think much about your body. In fact, we all think our bodies are invincible at that age jumping off the playground, scraping our knees and brushing it off as if it was a small paper cut. But for her, she knew instantly that she was not well. Dehydration, thirst, frequent urination (peeing), and headaches are just some of the symptoms she felt all at once. When visiting the hospital, the doctors took her symptoms as a virus and told her to rest at home. But the reality was, her blood was growing more acidic by the minute because her body was no longer producing insulin. As she got worse her quick thinking mother grabbed a glucose meter and knew instantly her daughter was in danger of dying within hours.
Rushing to the hospital doctors hooked her up on machines and rushing to control her acidic blood levels. Luckily, they were able to control it and she survived, but not with a catch. For the rest of her life, life all type 1 diabetics, she would have to monitor and inject herself every few hours a day. On top of this weight fluctuations, headaches, and tiredness will be with her for the rest of life and at random times.
For most Type 1 diabetics, your life revolves around the needle and glucose meter, but it doesn't have to. You don't have to hide behind the needle and screen anymore. You can proudly say you have this disease and that's fine because you will rise above it. Don't let a disease (or any) take advantage of who you are, what you're capable of, and what you want to accomplish in life. You may have to walk an extra 10 steps than the person next to you, but those extra steps will only make you stronger and make you appreciate every step more. Don't think of it as the end to your life but the beginning of a new challenge that you will overcome.

My mom has type 1 diabetes, I feel you...
When I got diabetes it was almost exactly like this but I was 11 when I got it.
Im fighting asthma who else had asthma like if and comment if none
That....was....touching! IM NOT CRYING! MY EYES ARE SWEATING!
I had a virus 🦠 like that but it wasn’t the same
I'm a type 1 diabetic to, had it since I was 7. Ik how it feels to have a crazy high blood sugar or go throw DKA. I was lucky that I got caught with T1D early. But when I was 7 I was so stress and weirded out that I never took good care of myself. I got DKA when I was 8. I never really understood what this was but my mom knew exactly what it was at 1 in the morning I was rushed to the hospital and I now (I'm 14) I can't really remember... But I do remember exactly how you felt, I was scared for my life, I thought I was gonna go too my sister (who sadly passed away before I was born) . I was 1 hour away from death, I was horrified and I hardly remember the crying of my poor mom outside the door of the room I'm in. When I fell asleep I got a dream of my sister and my grandmother just sitting on a couch in my house and watching tv. I asked them, " Am I really dead?" And they never spoke a word, my sister got up and touched me on her head, then she said, " you got much more to live for lauren, go." Then I woke up the next day feeling tired but much better, my number was 108 which the funny thing was, it was the exact time of my sister's death, 1:08 am. If you read till here ty for reading and as a Type 1 Diabetic I'm proud to help whoever I can and say "I survived". Now I sometimes go to schools with many diabetic kids in them and talk to them about my story and how it is to have T1D. I don't want likes nor subs, but it's appreciated if you do. Thank you and I hope everyone has a great life.
So sad
Sad..😭😭
Be humble and like this for Ill ppl
I’m also a t1d I would write a pharagrph cos I’m hypo
That so sad
And I thought that having two operations was unlucky but all that you've been through is horrible I'm glad your ok and i wish you the best of life! ❤️😘🎉
The guy in the wheelchair is a legend in a body
Minute videos has zero videos that are a minute... Hmmmmmmm.
Like my coment for my sister please
I was sick for almost a full year i was only 6 years old and then my dad went to the hospetol and then my sister went last year she had a really bad coff she cood belery breath and now she is for ever going to have a bad coff
I was diagnosed in 2008, both of my parents took me to see two different doctors at different surgeries, all four doctors told us I was sick with a common cold, a virus, and other common infections. The type one got worse for about two months. I continued to feel and look morbidly Ill, it took me years to stop wetting myself after being diagnosed, this disease, type one, it’s smart and I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your story and that you’re brave and courageous, remember to check your blood every night before bed. Best wishes.
Sad story I have diabetes too
Top 7 judges cry
Woy
I do want to die
I have something called Blunt disease I think, and I had to get surgery 2 times. My left leg is now 2 meters shorter than my right leg! So when I’m 13, i need to get surgery again to fix it’s height.
Is no one going to talk about the kind man in the wheelchair?
Just hearing about this made me scared im eating a lot of Valentine's candy right now😟😟😟
Candy is not going to give you diabetes. At least not this type
Did you thank the Lord or God
My Blister open up and I could almost see my flesh and also i have high fever and sezures When i wake up i see everything slow i felt like the sezure is attacking me I Cryed an told My mom We got to the doctors and the doctor gives is bitamina and yeah i almost see my flesh and it was soo much blood i mean dripping
May God brighten your future and help you
if i was her mom i would have left the room and let her die because im smarter than her mom
There is a disease called bright side and I think this channel is infected.
I'm crying now
I'm so proud of you!
If I was you, I would give up...
When I heard the intro I thought I heard her said "Dear diarea"...
I love how everyone is a great specialist in this comment section. 😑
Sorry that happened
This is so sad!! :'(
you go kid
Not calling for an ambulance is a stupid suggestion by a nurse
Am I the only one who thought that during a surgery a doctor made an error that almost killed this poor girl?
Aw that was sad
srsly me when i dont take my medication
i have diabetes too i was diagnosed at 4 and i felt the ecxact same i hope we can find a cure ☺😭
I feel so sorry for her. And incredibly proud and amazed by the guy in the broken leg! Awesome action for a little girl struggling
this was sad, glad u lived :)
Im sorry! This is terrible, but your all okay now. So you keep the creative spirit up! With love, Swag.
All of these are fake, you know that right???
My dear, this is not fake
You have an amazing mother. And I hope that guy in the wheelchair is able to walk again.
This family has awful luck
That was so scary but I'm glad that you are ok
This make me cry...
