[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 551114, member: 44643"] Hi I was 31 when diagnosed, 25 years ago now. For many weeks I started to lose weight, very tired, the most incredible thirst ( I was actually drinking straight out of the tap) infections and just feeling so awful. Went to stay with my sister up north for a week, travelled up by coach. She noticed changes ( I went from 8 1/2 stone to 7stone 3) told her my symptoms, we agreed I would see my GP when I got back. She had a dinner party the next night and I was drinking gallons of Cream Soda, felt unwell and tearful, so my sister called for a doctor:doctor: and he suspected diabetes because of the 'pear drops' smell on my breath. An ambulance was called, so they took me to North Tees General and on the way dropped off my sister's step aunt because it was on the way ( she asked )!!. I was admitted for a week and had to stay another week at my sister's, because I wasn't allowed to travel back on my own. That's about it really:cool:. [/QUOTE]
