[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 979235, member: 196557"] This happened 30 years ago when I was first diagnosed so hopefully it wouldn't happen now... Went to the GP to get test results (urine test for diabetes!) and was told yes I was diabetic. My parents were given the phone number for the diabetic clinic at the local children's hospital and told to ring tomorrow for an appointment, but told they might not be open that week as it was Jan 2nd. My parents rang as soon as we got in and the DSN couldn't believe what she was hearing and told them to take me in to A&E pronto - my blood was so high on arrival that they told us if I'd had my hot milk with lots of sugar for bed as normal I would probably not have been alive in the morning! I had been at the panto that afternoon and had sweets and a massive coke so it was a particularly bad day but it's scary to think how close it was. [/QUOTE]
