Did any of you type 1s have a virus before you got diabetes?

[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 396994, member: 74042"] [b]Re: Did any of you type 1s have a virus before you got diabe[/b] I've been diagnised T1 for a little over two weeks now (39yo) and yes, I can definitely link mine to a virus. I was working away (as usual) in Aberdeen in mid-Feb, started to go down with a cold midweek, didn't realise it was going to be full-on flu. Felt horrendous on Friday, but I was going home then anyway. Spent Saturday/Sunday on the sofa. I've only had full blown few about three or four time, but I know it when've had it. I can pinpoint my symptoms almost to the day from that weekend. Waking up at night drenched in sweat (sleeping on a towel to soak it all up) Raging thirst Weight loss (67kg down to 60kg at the lowest) leg cramps Insomnia Eventual massive appetite Eventually went to the docs in easly JUne, like most middle aged males of my generation, waiting to see if it would go away on its own. Glad I did, feel much better now that I'm on the MDI [/QUOTE]
