Meet Our 2013 Duluth Walk Ambassadors - Emma and Anna Arntsen
As sisters, Emma and Anna Arntsen share a lot of things, but the one thing they wish they didn’t share is Type-1 diabetes. In early 2003, just after turning 3, Emma was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes.
As sisters, Emma and Anna Arntsen share a lot of things, but the one thing they wish they didn’t share is Type-1 diabetes. In early 2003, just after turning 3, Emma was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes. She had been potty-trained both day and night for over half a year when she started having frequent potty accidents, was constantly asking for water and then guzzling entire sippy cups of water. Since she had an aunt with Type-1 diabetes, we were aware of the common diabetes symptoms and were watching for them. After taking her to her pediatrician and voicing concern about her symptoms, we were told her thirst was due to dry winter air and were sent home without any tests being done. When her symptoms persisted and worsened, we took her back to the clinic and insisted that her blood sugar be tested. She was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes, admitted to the hospital that night and was hospitalized for a week while we got her high blood sugars and ketones under control and learned how to manage her diabetes.
