T1 General Sample: Fill & Download for Free

A story from Northern Ireland I wish I didn’t have to tell.Around Christmas 2019, my 10 yo daughter (Zara) went through a spell of bedwetting, constant thirst, and generally feeling lethargic. On the morning of Monday 20th January, my wife took her to our local doctor’s surgery, and brought a urine sample, thinking she may be suffering from a kidney infection or UTI. The doctor prescribed a course of antibiotics (dispensed for free at our local chemist) but also asked one of the practice nurses to take a few blood samples for further analysis.At approximately 5:45 that evening, we received a call from the surgery, requesting we bring my daughter immediately to the accident & emergency (ER) department of the main children’s hospital in Belfast. I don’t think they gave too many details on the call, but obviously we complied, my wife made the journey of 15 miles or so. The usual process when arriving at A&E is to go through a triage process to determine the nature and urgency of the visit, this may result in a wait of a few hours for non life threatening cases, but my daughter was taken into the A&E treatment area immediately upon arrival.The medical staff there informed my wife the blood tested earlier that day had indicated our daughter was suffering from ketoacidosis, due to the failure of her pancreas to create insulin, and to our dismay, she was diagnosed as being type 1 diabetic. The staff in A&E placed 2 lines in her hand, delivering insulin and a saline solution to try to restore her fluid levels. I received a call from my wife at approx 8:30, asking for some overnight supplies as Zara was to be admitted until her levels stabilised. I arrived an hour or so later, just as she was being transferred from the A&E department to one of the main wards. The ward she was moved to contained 4 beds, of which 2 others were occupied. I stayed with my wife and daughter for another couple of hours, but had to return home as my 14yo son was in the house by himself. To get out of the carpark, I paid about £2.50/$3.50.Belfast, just arrived on the ward.Tuesday morning, I dropped my son at school and came back to the hospital for a couple of hours before heading into work, again being robbed of a similar amount for parking. Mid afternoon, I collected my son from school, and headed back to the hospital. I swapped places with my wife, who took my son home, paying £5.00/$6.50 for the 24hr parking space. My daughter’s treatment continued, on the Tuesday night, they consider her well enough to remove the lines for the saline solution and insulin pump, keeping a single line in her other hand to take blood samples, and just using a single injection ‘pen’ to give insulin as required when she was having meals.Wednesday morning, we were advised Zara would be moved to the children’s unit at our local hospital once they were able to arrange transport. Again my wife came up to the hospital, about 2::00 pm we were notified transport was available. so I left to collect my son from school just as my wife and daughter were being loaded into the ambulance. Again, we were robbed £2.50 for the pleasure of using the car park.Once I’d dropped my son at home, I headed to Craigavon. The children’s ward is a new building completed two or three years ago, I think 18 separate rooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. Zara was most impressed with the tv, with free access to Youtube, and where we were able to log into our Netflix account.Home from homeI stayed for a few hours, again the robbing car park charged me £2.40 for the stay. My wife was staying the night, the patient’s rooms each had a pull down bed, and she was given blankets by the auxiliary staff.I called over again on the Thursday evening once I had arranged things for my son, but discovered another carpark about 50 yards from the one I had parked in, which turned out to be free to use.I discovered in my absence, a diabetic specialist nurse had been to see Zara, and had fitted her with a glucose monitoring sensor and reader, and given my wife a prescription for 2 sensors each month (each lasts 14 days). Sensors are available to purchase for about £50/$70 each, but ours would be free, funded by the NHS. Additionally, we’d been provided with 2 glucose monitors, a ketone monitor, and 3 sets of injection pens. Since Zara gets different types of insulin (slow acting for overnight and rapid for with each meal) I thought we only needed one of each type, but were advised they can break down, so spares are useful.On Friday morning, I dropped my son to school, and again returned to Craigavon. The doctor was suggesting Zara was ready for discharge, however my wife and I voiced concern that although we had seen Zara injecting herself with insulin, we had no idea what quantities were required. The doctor went through the process they use in Craigavon (actually different from how the dose was calculated in Belfast) but when we said we weren’t confident looking after her at home, he said they were in no rush to clear her room, and she was welcome to stay another night. I was due to stay overnight with her, so my wife left mid-afternoon to collect a prescription sent from the hospital to our local doctor’s surgery, and collect the items at the local chemist.Whilst we won’t need every item on the list below, where I’ve been able to find prices, it would be approximately £200 monthly if I had to pay, excluding the insulin, which I can’t find listed on Amazon :/ This list doesn’t include the (now) 4 sets of NovoPen injection pens, the AccuChek reader (used with the glucose test strips) or the GlucoMen reader (for the β-Keytone strips) as they’re not really consumables. Of course, since this is covered by the NHS, we’ve nothing to pay :)We were expecting Zara to be discharged on Saturday, however the nurses again said they were in no rush for her to leave, and as her glucose levels were still fluctuating, were happy for her to stay until Sunday.Sometimes you just need a cuddle :)I finally collected her on Sunday morning, again opting to walk 50 yards to save a pound or two. We did get robbed a few pounds for a card and boxes of biscuits & sweets for the medical staff, but I reckon she’s worth that expense.Since she’s been home, her diabetic nurse has been on our speed-dial, if she’s not available, our call routes to the children’s ward in Craigavon. On the times that’s happened, we’ve been able to speak with some of the staff who looked after her during her stay. She’s been back at school a couple of weeks, her diabetic nurse has paid a couple of visits to the school to train the staff to monitor her while she does mid-morning blood scans and gives herself an insulin injection before lunch.Appointments and treatments impossible to get?? While Zara may have to live with daily injections and blood tests, I can’t fault the treatment she’s received in either of the hospitals she was in, or the after care. In an ideal world she’d have gone into hospital, stayed a few days, came home to recuperate and be her usual self (just like her brother, who suffered a burst appendix and was being operated on 3 hours after we arrived in A&E). We’ve to make the best of the situation we’re in, but I am thankful at least she lives in a country which takes care of its sick, not one where the profit of an insurance company determine what treatments are offered, and where people in her situation die because they can’t afford the hiked price of a drug needed to keep them alive.I’ll just leave this as a comparison The human cost of insulin in America.Quick edit on 20/3/21 - After being quiet for quite a while, I’ve been getting notifications from Quora about new likes/shares on this answer. Not sure how it’s resurfaced, but a quick update for those reading the story about a year after it was originally written.For most of us, life has been a rollercoaster over the past year or so; the mental challenges posed by COVID lockdowns only add to the issues Zara is having to face. She has good days and bad days. As a pre-teen, she’s got a whole new set of challenges with gushing hormones, which seem to have their own opinions on what her glucose levels should be.As has been said in some of the comments, she can own this condition, or it can own her. I think she’s strong enough to own it - it doesn’t stop her having a sneaky trip to the cookie jar, but as she’s getting ready to move to her next level of education, she’s owning her insulin doses. Unlike at primary school, there won’t be a member of staff to oversee her injection. An app on her phone helps calculate the dose, but at home she’s happy to dial in the amount and inject herself without supervision. Perhaps when the hormones are firing she’ll grumble “Aren’t you going to check it?”. We do, and there’s nothing like a quick “love you” from her mum or me to take the edge off her grumpiness :)Everyone has a birthday, married folks have anniversaries, but only diabetics have diaversaries! Special occasions call for cake, and like a first birthday, first diaversaries need special cakes - we just happened to find a baker who’s dad was T1, and knew what the condition entails, and the paraphernalia they need to stay alive. Just image if all that paraphernalia could be made from sugar - that would put a big smile on a face, and need a suitably sized insulin dose!

Well, my mains exam was also on 18 November so i mainly focused on 18th November analysis done on YouTube. But aspirants of 15 &16 November can also get clear idea here.Many analysis done on youtube were not satisfactory, they put their own predictions on analysis, I'll try to clear all doubts here as I used to do self analysis for myself…Here I will show u the other aspect of analysis…RBE, examo(YouTube channel)and qmaths collected data of nearly 13000 students i.e. nearly 1/6 of total attendance.We will use these data here for self analysis..Look at the given pic. 18 nov catagory.1380 aspirants score (T1+ T2raw)530 and above…Total strength of 18 nov aspirants participated in survey was nearly 3900, Now the picture is very clear ..Same trend will be for 15th nov and 16 nov aspirants..Since nearly 2800 from 15 nov and 5400 from 16 nov participated in survey.The ratio will be same as same level of aspirants are there in every shift.If there is no increase in normalised marks for 18 nov then nearly 1000 aspirants from 15 nov and 2000 aspirants from 16 nov will get 530+ normalised marks(provided there is no increase in marks for 18 nov) because normalisation will balance everything and scoring ratio will be same in each shift.So finally 4300 out off 13000 students will get 530+ marks till tier2.(provided there is no increment in marks for 18nov). This number will increase if there will be sample size of 85000 students but not in the same ratio bcs only good and scoring aspirants take part in general YouTube survey.Rank will be somehow 6000–7000 at score 530 till tier 2.Now T3 marks will decide the fate of students who are on borderline.But it is clear now where we stand. In the same way u can also predict ur position for different marks level whether it is 540, 560 or above, ratio will be same for every shift and this is the truth. I am leaving it upto u, do ur self analysis with ur own marks, u know urself better than others know about u.Anyway I scored 534 till tier2.172.47 in tier1 (1st attempt)361.5 in tier2 (200/200 in quant)Hoping for TA and preparing for cgl2020 with keeping in mind we(experienced) will be the next topper.Whether you are sure of a post through cgl19 or not, but it is vital truth that you are not going to join before 2022, because cgl18 aspirants are there to join first who have recently given their skill test.I'll suggest to all my Quora friends to start your preperation for cgl2020 as there are more than 1 yr of final result of cgl19.The another 1 year of your intense preperation will take you to the next level and you will feel youself out of the crowd.Feel it from today that you are the next(cgl2020) topper. topper(doesn't mean only rank 1). it will work whether you are beginner or achievers 4–5 months for pre and next 3 months for mains are enough for anybody to grab top post.Make your plan and start preparing from today(not tomorrow), Wish you to be selected in cgl2020 if you are not in 2019.Most of the aspirants waste their these crucial time but if you utilise you are the next achiever.Stay motivated always.Thanku.
