My T1D Diagnosis Story | Going into DKA

I recently celebrated my 3rd "Diaversary" and shared my diagnosis on my Instagram stories. The amount of feedback I received was overwhelming. My DMs were full of so many people connecting with my story and becoming emotional as I did in the video. I edited together the IG stories into a YouTube video so others can easily find it.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 28 years old on February 23, 2017. I take a lot of time to reflect on my diagnosis each February. This year, I became more emotional that I anticipated. So, this is my reflection on that life-changing day when I almost died from going into severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). I hope sharing my story resonates with you or someone you love. You are not alone!
