    Fits/seizures

    I've been experiencing a few of these recently, I've been shrugging them off as anomalies, however s**t just got real.

    JRDF

    I stumbled across JRDF on the web, and I see very few references to it on here. I was thinking of going to one of their Discovery Days, has anyone here been to one, have thoughts or opinions on how good they are?

    Sort of new type 1

    Hello, I was actually diagnosed as a type 1 in January, registered on here some months ago, but probably now only ready to discuss my terrible experience. I went into A&E with >40 MMOL, basically they wondered how I actually functioned. I'd lost loads of weight, and anyone who hadn't seen me...
