I learned that I’m a diabetic the hard way (went into diabetic ketoacidosis and spent several days in the ICU). This happened while I was thousands of miles from home and was not a pleasant experience. Thankfully things are pretty well controlled now that I’m on insulin.

Did you experience any symptoms before the ketoacidosis that you dismissed or did not dawn on you as being a sign?
