[QUOTE="Jamie-95, post: 526593, member: 105873"] I was 11 and diagnosed 2 weeks before christmas in 2006. I was sent out of class for being disruptive because i was complaining about feeling sick and then i got really bad sharp pains in my stomach, i was sobbing from the pain feeling like i needed to be sick but nothing was happening, i hadn't eaten anything since my breakfast that day as i had no appetite. It was only when the teacher came out to have a word with me she realised i was in pain and needed medical attention, i was taken to the medical room in a wheelchair as i couldn't stand with the pain in my stomach and my mum was called to pick me up, at first everyone thought i was being bullied as no one has ever seen me so upset and thought that was the reason why i had dropped so much weight in such a short time of starting high school. Once i got home i was starving and just wanted to eat but i wasn't allowed and i had to be taken the walk in centre where they tested my bloods and urine. I was asked if i was going the toilet more frequently and or was experiencing that i was more thirsty or tired than usual or had any unexplained weight loss... To which i answered yes to all. I was then sent to hospital and it was then my mum had guessed i had diabetes as my childhood friend also had it and she knew then that he had gone through similar symptoms i was going through. They tested my blood twice(as the first time my results were mixed up with another persons) and i was then told i had diabetes. My first thought was oh okay and then i asked so what do you do to take it away? To which the doctor said we cant take it away you'll have it for the rest of your life i am so sorry but it is manageable by insulin injections and i just burst into tears and threw myself into my mums arms and she hugged me. I was then sent up to my ward and everything was explained to me, i was given an orange to practice injecting on , and within 3-4 days i was sent home as i could inject myself. I am 19 years of age now and still have up and down days but it is controlled pretty well and i believe that my diabetes has helped me be the person i am today... Which is being more understanding to people and their problems. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
