[QUOTE="Bethmols, post: 782278, member: 163088"] My daughter was diagnosed with diabetes after being rushed to hospital in ambulance due to dka, we had no idea she was diabetic, doctor estimates she has been diabetic for at least a year was constantly at doctors for last 18 months prior to this due to tonsillitis and discussed with doctor the abnormal amount of water she drank everything was put down to tonsillitis it was only 2 days after the operation to remove the tonsils that she became very ill and within 4 hours went from a healthy although groggy from having an operation girl to an aggressive and eventually not knowing who we (her parents) were during this time I was advised by NHs24 to get her to eat ice lollies etc and get an appointment with doctors when we got to doctors we were then advised she was dehydrated and sent by ambulance to a hospital where we were asked if any pills were missing in the house eventually she was transported with a doctor in an ambulance to another hospital where an immediate diagnosis was made she was out on emergency support machines and transferred to hdu she eventually made a full recovery and was discharged 22/12/14. Although I am thankful I have my daughter here to tell the tale what astounds me now is the complete lack of knowledge on diabetes my daughter over and above being at doctors surgery every 2 weeks for 18 months had pre op assessments in 2 different hospitals and was operated on in a 3rd hospital and not one doctor/nurse picked up on or had an inclination for this to be checked.
