We envision a future with no child or adult diagnosed with DKA as a complication of undiagnosed Type 1 diabetes. Please join the UP Rising Against DKA Coalition
Ask physicians to @TestOneDrop 🩸, bcz our pediatrician told us it was the flu. I looked online & @cwdiabetes reached out & said test blood sugar. In less than an hour he was with 2 IV’s headed via 🚑 2 Cottage 🏥 unconscious . #DKA dxd 2004 still #t1dstrong#projectbluenovember
@brown914@cwdiabetes So thankful they reached out! @cwdiabetes was founded just 6 mos b4 our daughter was DX in 1995! They were the 1st online source we found.
This was so difficult to watch, Peter wasn’t lucky enough to survive DKA at diagnosis 💔 please be vigilant, insist on a finger prick test as soon as symptoms appear or you’re worried, immediate prompt testing saves lives 💙 share the #4Ts & be aware #ForDude#testonedrop
@DiabetesMedia Our girl reached 24 yrs on the 13th. @ 6yo, we were unsure how pregnancy would affect her...she just had a baby w/A1C of 4.3 thx to looping!
Susan Weiner, MS, RDN, CDE, kicked off the NENYDE LNG AADE Conference today by discussing The Misdiagnosis of T1D. Very powerful! #aade#diabetes#symptomawareness
It’s #DiabetesWeek2019 please be aware & share the signs of #Type1diabetes you could save a life .... #4Ts toilet, thirsty, tired, thinner... if your child (or you) have any of the above get tested, a finger prick takes seconds, instant results #ForDude@DiabetesUK#testonedrop
@BJontry @amyalkon Type 1 diabetes = autoimmune disease
Type 2 = metabolic disorder NO type is caused by eating PopTarts. Misconception leads to misdiagnosis!
All human beings need insulin to live. Non-Type 1 diabetics’ bodies make it for free, and Type 1 diabetics can’t produce any on our own. W/o insulin, your cells can’t get energy from ur food & you starve to death through ketoacidosis. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
When will it end???
When everyone knows the symptoms!!DO NOT BE AFRAID TO DEMAND THAT SOMEONE (doctor, nurse, paramedic) PERFORMS A SIMPLE TEST!! ONE DROP OF BLOOD AND LESS THAN 10 SECONDS COULD HAVE SAVED THIS HEARTACHE! #testonedrop https://t.co/wsFYlb39Ps
Without prompt diagnosis #type1diabetes can be fatal, 4 years ago today we said our final goodbye to our 13year old son Peter. Sharing the #4Ts can & has saved lives, toilet, thirsty, tired, thinner... TEST, a finger prick test takes seconds 💙 insist on it! #ForDude#RiPPeterB
Woman says her son couldn't afford his insulin – now he's dead - CBS News @NSmithholt12 you are a true rockstar. We will achieve #insulin4all 💪💙 https://t.co/TXwY02SrTT
Because so many people think you get diabetes from eating too much sugar, every year people die from not being diagnosed with #type1diabetes in time. Know the signs. #t1d is not diet related.
@mollyschreiber I'm beyond thankful for the level of care our daughter received @childrensatl in 1995--but am shocked that in 2018 education is so minimal.
@mollyschreiber Many people who have been living with T1D have NO clue they can get DKA!!! They are NOT being properly educated & think it's only at DX.
@NadinePedersen4@newsthump While diabetes jokes may seem harmless, they are not. Perpetuating myths kills people. Visit https://t.co/RvYExsUSgr and read the stories.
