One divorce & THREE type 1 diabetes diagnoses in 1 year. Two months after leaving my ex-husband of 12 years, nearing the end of 2019, our oldest son (11) was flown to Children's Hospital in Vancouver, BC. He was rapidly going into a diabetic coma (diabetic ketoacidosis) it was the most frightening thing I've ever been through. I was naive and couldn't see the signs. I thought his losing weight & wetting the bed was the stress from the divorce. Wetting the bed was common for him in his younger years. After several weeks in Children's getting recovery & proper education, we were able to come home. Nothing felt the same.
Only six months later, and still fresh into everything that had happened, my youngest son wet the bed. He was 2.5 yrs old at the time & had been out of diapers for some time. I didn't want to believe it, but my heart knew. I took him down to get him checked out right away. The doctor said there were no other signs, but they found a small amount of glucose in his urine. He was then diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Above, I mentioned there were three diagnoses. Can you guess who was next? Yup, me. I was 29, & it happened 6 months after my youngest son. What the freaking hell. I never even knew you could be an adult & still get Type 1. I went in for heart palpitations. I was feeling off. I could see it in my doctors eyes when she said, "You'll never believe it." My heart sank. There I was, a single mother of three, with a task in front of me that felt impossible. I was leading my little team with barely any knowledge of what to do. After countless hours of doctors appointments, finger pokes, lows, highs, continuously waking up throughout the night to make sure everyone was alive, it was time to make a full blow life change. I got completely sober, picked up the weights, read books, took courses, & learned as much as I could.
I'll be 34 this year. These past 6 years have been the most stressful & scariest years of my life, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. I've never thought I could grow this much. I am so excited to share my story with you all & for you to watch me grow 🩵💪✨️
