@apostledannyofficial: REST IN PEACE: Grade 11 learner dies after developing life-threatening diabetes 💔🕊️ 17-year-old Tatum Pallas, a Grade 11 learner at Eersterivier Secondary School, has sadly passed away at Eersterivier Hospital following serious complications from Type 1 diabetes. Tatum was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on 29 November 2017, when she was just eight years old. Her mother, Sarah Pallas, first noticed that she was sleeping excessively and frequently visiting the bathroom. For nearly 10 years, Tatum and her family had to manage the condition through daily insulin treatment, regular blood-sugar monitoring and constant care. On the Thursday before her death, Tatum suddenly became unwell at home. Her blood-sugar levels reportedly rose sharply within approximately 30 minutes, prompting her admission to hospital that evening. She later developed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a dangerous and potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes. Despite receiving treatment, her condition continued to deteriorate, and by Friday her breathing had become irregular. On Sunday morning, the hospital contacted her father. Doctors later informed the family that Tatum’s heart had stopped. She loved singing at home and cooking for her family. Her funeral is scheduled for 14 November at the school hall of Eersterivier Secondary School. May her soul rest in peace. My deepest condolences 💔🕊️
