My son was in the ICU for a while about 3 weeks ago because he was severely dehydrated and he had DKA, which happens when you are type 1 diabetic and either don't know it, or don't take care of yourself.
He is fine now, but he will have to take insulin shots for the rest of his life. I hate this for him so much, he is only 2 years old. I also have to prick his little finger 4-6 times a day. We are trying to get his sugar levels under control, and it is really hard to do that in the beginning. I have woke him up a few times in the morning, to find his sugar level in the 30's, when it should be between 100-200.
Please pray for him. Thanks!
