Madysen Bresette
I was a junior in high school when I diagnosed myself with type 1 diabetes. I had four symptoms: excessive thirst, extremely tired, weight loss, and frequent urination. I knew something was wrong so I Googled my symptoms and told my parents that I thought I had diabetes. That day after school I went home had an afternoon snack of Lucky Charms then went to urgent care. When they proceed to do all the tests and things my blood sugar read 626 and I had ketones. I was then transferred to our children’s hospital and got my official Type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
