Hello Heather:
WOW! A 2 week Coma. That's Major. Well, any Coma is Major but particularly one that long. Mine only lasted 3 days. We're Happy to see you come back from it, hopefully with little or no consequence. I can understand what you've been through and how you feel/felt to some degree.
Don't worry, you're not expected to know everything about Diabetes. No Human knows everything about it, even the Specialists. We normally go with what we know in each small space of time until some new evidence is discovered for our betterment. Especially when one technique doesn't work for all types. As most, you will learn a lot more as you go along which will be beneficial to you.
I'm relieved to hear that you came to terms with Diabetes and decided to take charge of it. For sure, Diabetes will slap you in the head everytime you/we ignore or forget about it.
We Welcome you and any of your questions, comments, suggestions and experiences.
