[QUOTE="dectjoh, post: 170387, member: 31325"] Thanks for your replies and offers of help. They mean a lot. The diagnosis was a shock in itself however what shocked me more was how sick I was and didn't really know it. I had lost two stone in 6 weeks which was obviously wrong (I dropped to 8st so I wasn't huge to start with) and was seriously thirsty in the evenings. When I went to the doctor my blood ketone level was nearly 6, he sent me straight to the Diabetes Unit and they gave me insulin there and then. I flew off to Ireland for New Year the next day with all sorts of kit I didn't really understand and basically slept, cried and injected insulin for the next five days. I hurt everywhere - is this normal? I'm off work at the moment which helps with all the appointments I have lined up! Not sure how long I'll be off for - any ideas from anyone with a similar start to the whole thing as me? Tracy [/QUOTE]
