I am in Lago Vista, Travis county. Had not heard that Williamson Cty lost one person. Our son and pregnant daughter in law live in Williamson. Together 20 years - their first child. This has been a nightmare!!!!!!! Hubby was in ICU March 8-11. Diabetic Acid Ketosis. NOT C.V.! But scary! Almost lost him.

My wife had a severe seizure and DKA on Aug 26, 2019. It was then that she was reclassified a Type 1 diabetic. Since then, she has added a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor and a Tandem TSlim-2 insulin pump to manage her blood glucose. She upgraded her finger stick meter to one that does both glucose and ketones. Both are monitored carefully to make sure she doesn't land in the danger zone again.

Two new seizures on Feb 23 culminated in a diagnosis of epilepsy. The anti-epileptic medication has had the beneficial side effect of making her sugar control much better.
