My son James Matthews was diagnosed with Type1 diabetes at the age of 13 years in December 2014.He was booked into ICU with Ketones and we were informed that if he had arrived at hospital an hour later then he would have slipped into a coma. He spent four days in ICU in a critical condition before he was moved into the paediatrician ward for another few days. His diagnosis was Type1 diabetes which is a lifetime disease with no cure. He received his insulin injections that he would have to take three times a day for the rest of his life together with a list of food that he should eat. There are many long-term complications with regards to the insulin. There was also the danger of his blood sugar count becoming too low and this would cause him to slip into a coma and possibly die. This cannot be completely prevented as many factors influence the blood sugar count, including hormones. Without medically applied insulin they can NOT slip into a comma, this can only happen if they are on insulin.
