Michelle Berman, mother of Jonathan Berman, who has had Type 1 diabetes for nearly 10 years, talks to Main Line Times about the prevalence of DKA in T1D diagnosis. Working with Beyond Type 1 to spread awareness about Type 1 and the importance of early diagnosis, Berman shares her son's story. If he hadn't fainted, alerting the family that something was seriously wrong, he may not have survived DKA. Approximately 41% of children diagnosed with Type 1 are in DKA, the leading cause of dearth in children with T1D.
