Um, because my, my body was attacking my pancreas so slowly that it was just this slow progression of trying to figure out what was going on, um, which, you know, most type ones it's, uh, you know, you're feeling great to being in the hospital and a couple of weeks later, you know, it was a, it's a different experience for me. Um, and that, just those kinds of those kinds of things just progressively got worse and worse as it led up to my, my diagnosis. Uh, so probably about, um, six months before diagnosis, I, I started to really get some of the symptoms, um, that you would consider to be type one where I was really not feeling good after eating, um, dry mouth, dry eyes, starting to go to the bathroom a lot. Um, uh, what were your symptoms at this point? Oh no, never, never, always gonna say you're dying. Um, you know, I had no idea what was going on and, you know, you start searching online, which is a terrible, So I was, I started to keep like a food diary and kind of document how I was feeling, you know, before eating, after eating. I thought maybe I had a food allergy or something like that.
Um, it was an interesting time period where I slowly was getting worse and worse and didn't really have an idea of what was going on. Um, they were just trying to figure out what was going on the whole time. Um, they never, they never actually diagnosed me with, um, type 1.5 or anything like that. Um, and my, my diagnosis actually, um, book about a year and a half. So, um, yeah, so it's, um, relatively new still to this. Uh, November 3rd election day is actually my five-year diverse.
