Hello guys, I’m a Type 1 Diabetic. I was diagnosed in Feb of 2020 after becoming extremely sick and weighed about 86lbs. For the past two and half years I’ve had to inject insulin 4+ times a day everyday, to stay in my target blood glucose range.In December of 2022 I was admitted into the hospital and had to have an emergency surgery, and I was also DKA aka Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when your body produces high levels of blood acids called ketones.Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when your body is unable to produce enough insulin. Insulin normally plays a key role in helping sugar (glucose), a major source of energy for your muscles and other tissues enter your cells. Without enough insulin, your body begins to break down fat as an alternate fuel. This process produces a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream called ketones, eventually leading to diabetic ketoacidosis if untreated.As you can imagine, I am really struggling to get my medication .if you don't mind kindly support.

I'm not sure what to say rather than make sure to take extra care of your body. Although I'm not a doctor, I wish you the best of luck 🤞
