[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 490276, member: 90156"] I'm 30 now and was diagnosed when I was 15....... looking back I can remember being really tired all the time and thirsty, going to the toilet and emptying what felt like litres, then immediately getting thirsty again, downing litres of water, milk, anything really....... at the time though I didn't really think anything was up..........my parents knew what was going on though as my younger brother, who was 14 months younger than me was diagnosed at 2 years old. My parent took me to hospital and they done some tests and it was confirmed, although I never actually heard the word 'you are type 1 diabetic' from the doctors or my parents......... I went through al the phases as clear as day...........denial, anger, sadness........ was kept in for a week and then let out into the big bad world.......... control wasn't the best for most of my teens and early twenties, due to being on a mixed insulin and just lifestyle choices........ now on the pump I have the tools to get good control most of the time.... I think even back then the diagnosis wasn't as bad as it would of been for my brother back in the 80s....... [/QUOTE]
