For anyone who was watching Coronation Street tonight.Did you tune in to Coronation Street this evening? In tonight’s episode of #Corrie, Summer (who has recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes) hasn’t been taking her insulin, and collapses. We know this could have been distressing, or difficult to watch, particularly for young people with type 1 and their loved ones – and we’re here for you if you’re finding this storyline upsetting, or need any advice. Summer has experienced hyperglycemia, which can happen if you haven’t taken your medication, meaning there isn’t enough insulin to process the sugar in your blood. If you have type 1 diabetes, it’s essential you take insulin. If it’s left untreated, hyperglycemia can be dangerous and lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) which could mean hospital treatment. Knowing the signs of DKA and how to avoid it from happening could save someone’s life. Please read our information on DKA and share this post: orlo.uk/SFDrwFor more advice or support, our helpline team are available Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm on 0345 123 2399. Or you can email us at helpline@diabetes.org.uk.
