And during one of those lockdowns, we noticed that my son, my youngest son, who was almost seven at the time, he began to be very thirsty a lot of the times and then he went to the toilet very often he would go at night he would wet the bed and then we were wondering what is wrong because he's almost seven he doesn't wet the bed anymore so we took him to the GP to our doctor to have him checked to have a blood test And when the results came back, we were told that he had type 1 diabetes, which was very shocking because we didn't have a history of type 1 diabetes in the family.
