For weeks my parents thought I was just really sick. I felt weak, hungry and thirsty all the time, and tired. In two to three months, I lost 60% of my body weight and my daily habits changed completely, such as no longer wanting to go outside to play football.
The scariest part is, there was no way for my parents to have any idea what was really happening to me. Eventually my parents took me in to see our doctor, and after one simple look at me, he told my parents to take me to the hospital immediately. Upon arriving at the hospital, my blood sugar was 784. At 900, I would go into a coma. The target for a regular human being is 80-130.
