Yeah I don't remember it but my mom is pretty sure that I had a very bad cold that triggered my type 1, the timeline matches and I've heard similar.

Interesting, any chance it was flu? I didn't know colds could be that vicious! I got ME/CFS triggered by flu in 1997.

It's definitely possible! I don't *think* she tested me and it wasn't ever anything severe, just like a couple days of feeling sick. I was 5 at the time so I have no memory of it at all. A few months later I was in the hospital with a blood sugar of 500+

Oof. Mine was about 340. The GPs were trying to blow me off, but I've been disabled for 27 years and knew to seek out community. The diabetes server yelled at me to go into hospital before it turned into DKA, thankfully.
