It was February of 2008 when Park City resident Christina Miller thought she had the flu. She went in to see her doctor and mentioned that she felt tired. Then she mentioned something else.
"I told him, 'oh, as a side note, I think I have a bladder infection. It's no big deal,'" she said. "'I just noticed I've been drinking and going to the bathroom a lot.'"
The doctor instantly recognized what might be going on. He ran some tests and confirmed: Miller had diabetes.
"I had no idea what I was going through were all symptoms," she said. "I went in there for the flu and left with him saying I needed to go to the hospital because my blood sugar was so out of whack. A normal adult ranges between 70 and 130. I was in the 800s.

Probably in the reporting, but quite a few things 😱 😱 😱 in this article. An Omnipod might have some sort of wizard, but surely you still need to think about things? Also, the surprise that daughter developed T1, because 'it's not inherited'? Erm.... 🙄 3 in same family and she thinks is completely down to chance?
