[QUOTE="Lel, post: 68675, member: 11519"] Hi, I think I started out like many of the other people on here, lots of peeing, drinking and utterly shattered. I lived in a flat with my parents and we were top floor and I couldnt walk to the top of the stairs without having to stop for a break half way up. i went to Lloyds Pharmacy and got a test there. I hadnt eaten in 15 hours and my BS was 14.8 mmol/l so i was referred to my docs straight away. i was originally diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2004. in 2008 they diagnosed me as type 1 after me struggling so long with tablets that weren't working. i don't feel that i have received decent diabetes care as my docs and nurses failed to tell me the basics about carbs etc and everything i know i have learned from the wonderful people on here. i am still having problems trying to cope but at least i have equipped myself with the knowledge of my disease.
