#27 NEWLY DIAGNOSED SERIES Part 4: Understanding DKA
Are you a newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetic? Are you the mom or caregiver of a newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic child? Are you starting over with your T1D management? Then you are in the right place! This is episode FOUR in a 10 week series for the newly diagnosed.
The fourth episode in the Newly Diagnosed Series is all about DKA or Diabetic Keto Acidosis. Rachel and I discuss what it is, the signs and symptoms, who's at risk and more. We also take two little side tangents to discuss inhalable insulin,Afrezza, and the Eversense Continuous Glucose Monitor. Check out the links below to learn more about these two awesome T1D tools.
Joining me again and for the entire 10 week series is Registered Nurse and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), Rachel Halverson. Rachel is also a T1D herself and has been living with Type 1 for 23 years now. What's more, she has her very own online coaching business called Give Me Some Sugar where she primarily helps women manage their diabetes. In other words, she a super-human, hard-working lady! Please see below so you can know where to find Rachel and get in contact with her if you'd like!
A diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes is overwhelming to say the very least. The beginning of the journey with T1D is hard, emotional, scary and HEAVY. That's why I wanted to complete this series to help encourage and equip those families who are now facing this new life with T1D. Enjoy!
