[QUOTE="Minnie45, post: 911907, member: 131752"] I was 6/7 (long time ago lol) and apparently I had lost an awful lot of weight, very tired and kept drinking/going to the loo, mum was a T1 herself and recognised what was happening, made me pee in a pot and tested it (this was in the days pre blood glucose home testing), she took me off to the GP who for want of a better word was a funny old bloke and told her she was being over protective and worrying. 4 more visits to the GP over the course of the next couple of weeks with me becoming gradually more unwell, he refused to listen to mum and refused to do a urine test (!), last visit was to a locum who took one look at me and knew that it had to be T1, called an ambulance, ended up in hospital for a few weeks as I was so unwell, very nearly didn't pull through apparently but I did and I'm still here, 40 years on :) [/QUOTE]
