My daughter was diagnosed three years ago at the age of 4. She had recently started school and came down with a nasty virus. It included a temperature and head cold and as a result (I thought) she was very thirsty. However after she got over the illness the thirst did not go, it progressively got worse to the point of her being sick from trying to take on board so much fluid. She also began wetting the bed at night which was unusual and she had very little energy and was incredibly tearful. We visited our GP who immediately did a finger prick test and a urine test for keytones. The results were as she had expected and she referred us immediately to hospital where our daughter spent a few days being treated and had further tests. The specialist confirmed type 1 diabetes and we've been living with it ever since.</p></blockquote><p></p>
