“Levi has a cousin who is practically the same age and they always played together. At 2 years and nine months old, I noticed that he wasn’t playing with the same energy, but only I noticed. Everyone said he was fine.
I also saw that he always peed a lot. One day, he was playing alone at home, and his diaper leaked onto the floor. When I went to clean it, my slipper stuck to the pee, so the urine already had a lot of sugar in it.
In Brasília, I have always worked with the production of cultural events, but once a colleague asked for help at a pediatrics event where a doctor said that a mother’s intuition is very strong. That kept throbbing in my head.
I felt like I should take him to the hospital. I took it in two and nothing happened. On the third day, a nurse said that it could be an annoying mother’s anger, because the child looked beautiful and beautiful. I couldn’t challenge her at the time, I cried.
We went to another hospital, where I was very honest with the doctor. He listened to me, did all the tests possible and when his blood glucose results came back, it was 1,034.
That was in 2015. I visited three private hospitals and the diagnosis came in a public hospital, which was very welcoming. That day, I cried all morning, very worried, because I had never seen blood sugar so high. I cried a lot, I couldn’t eat the next day.
