[QUOTE="lcheeseright@hotmail.com, post: 1100193, member: 59362"] [USER=134814]@choklit buttons[/USER] You really need to press home to him how important it is he gets himself to a&e - they will diagnose, provide insulin and teach him what he needs to do. We are all here to support but this is NOT something anyone can ignore - he will become seriously ill. I know he doesn't want to go, and I know I am repeating what others have already said, but if he doesn't go, I would suggest calling your out of hours doctors service. Either they will tell you and hopefully him (if you can at least get him to talk to them on the phone) exactly what we've all said - seek treatment immediately. Or, they might take pity and send an on call GP out. Sounds like he is either not educated about the difference between type 1 and 2, or he is being wilfully ignorant. This community is great and provides lots of support for all sorts of things -including what to do at each different stage of acceptance and of insulin therapy (though the condition doesn't change, there can be a honeymoon period in the first year). Finally, I was diagnosed a week after learning of the suicide of a good friends father, I was 22. I firmly believe my diabetes was induced by shock as no one in my family on either side has diabetes and there is no history of it. I hope you can cajole him into seeking medical intervention.
