Eight months ago, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after nearly a week in the ICU. Eight months since hearing the words that finally explained what had been happening to my body. And eight months of slowly piecing myself back together physically, emotionally, and mentally.
I was diagnosed specifically with LADA, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults. But the truth is, it didn’t start the day I was diagnosed. It took years for me before anyone realized what was wrong.
