Thank you so much to everyone that has replied. This community is great. Definitely something a newly diagnosed person needs for comfort and support. I managed to talk to my educator and she talked to the endocrinologist whom agreed to up my insulin dosage for now. As for the diet related...

I actually laughed at this and woke up my wife.

The thing that made me go to the doctors was the constant toilet breaks. I went to the toilet 32 times the day before I went. I honestly knew where every public toilet in town was as I was needing to go every 20 odd minutes. Plus the thirst. So so thirsty. I have appointments next week with a...

Yes I did. About 8 kilos. I didn’t even notice until the last minute. Looked in the mirror and I looked horrible. I’m already a thin bloke. I was very close to going DKA said the doctor.
