Hello,
My partner has been feeling really unwell recently, tired, thirsty, dizzy a complete jumble of symptoms. After going to his doctors for blood tests he got a phone call saying he urgently needed to go to A&E as his tests had come back showing he was diabetic and his kidneys were deflated as well as other vital organs. After going to hospital and being admitted he’s been there since Friday so for three days now. He’s been diagnosed with Type one diabetes. We are both 22 years old and this has come as quite a shock. Whilst being a shock we also feel quite relieved that we have a diagnosis as him feeling unwell has been going on for months and months. I’m not very well informed on type one diabetes and although I’ve been researching it feel very confused and bombarded with all the information out there. I’m just looking for any recommendations on beginners guides to it, also I love cooking so any advice on do’s and dont’s to what food I can use. I understand it may not be simple but I need somewhere to start so I’m looking for help here. Any advice or input is massively appreciated.
Thank you
Poppy
