Keturah’s Story
My name is Keturah and I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic at the age of 3 and I am now 37. My road has been bumpy,but God is keeping me alive for some reason not yet known. My first hospital stay after my diagnosis was at age 10 and I had strep throat on top of my Glucometer malfunctioning. I was then switched from one shot of pork insulin to two shots of Humilin insulin. I did good with that til I was 31 and I ended up in the hospital yet again a year and 3 days after my dad passed away and I was put on 4 shots a day,3 of Novolog and one of Lantus at bedtime. My last hospital stay I ended up in the intensive care unit and was not told when i was there i was in renal failure. I wasnt told before i left either,but my kidneys are coming back slowly but the doctor said that was good. But recently the doctor did another ekg on me because i had more than one showing an abnormality. I was sent to a cardiologist and was told i need to have a stress thallium test done and an electrocardiogram also,but im unemployed right now with no insurance and no money and no way for the tests i need. Im praying that God will provide a way for me and im also trying to find a way for them to be done because the doctor said I may have some blockage and he wants them done to see if I’m gettingetting enough blood to my heart. Praying for help and God to provide,please keep me in your prayers if you would. I’d greatly appreciate the prayers.
