[QUOTE="jaywak, post: 1657126, member: 156561"] I was 16yrs old and very rarely visited the docs, but a week before my mother and father were due to go on holiday to Scotland and leave me and my sister for the first time on our own I became very ill my kidneys were aching I had blurred vision I was drinking pints of water and constantly peeing ( obvious now), I must have visited the docs 4 times that week and once was told I was just being a silly boy to stop mummy & daddy going going on holiday and can evan remember my father telling me to stop moaning because mother wouldn't go soI did my best to hide the symptoms. Mum and dad went on their holiday and I became more ill, the second day my sister came to my bedroom to wake me up only to find I was in a coma. The next thing I remember was waking up in a hospital bed on a drip and being told I had diabetes, I didn't Know what it was! Mum & dad were contacted and got back as soon as they could. I spent a week in hospital being treated and educated for type one, I remember being very depressed after reading books on type 1 I thought my life is going to be terrible all the stories of amputations,blindness,kidneys failing, That was 43yrs ago and have spent two nights in a hospital bed after two hypos in which I injured myself the last time was 22yrs ago, So it hasn't been that bad and for a 59yr old i'me still in a reasonable shape. For all newly diagnosed don't get depressed like I did your life will be as good as you want it to be! [/QUOTE]
