[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1979187, member: 372717"] Well, I sort of remember. I was 8 years old and my T1 mother took me to the doctor because I'd been waking in the night asking for drinks of water. (I suspect she may have done a urine test as well but I wouldn't have noticed. This was all before glucometers became available.). She then told me that they needed to do some blood tests and if they came out negative they'd have to do some more. So I naively hoped that the blood tests would show I was diabetic... Little did I realise just how many blood tests would follow once I became diabetic. :):):) [/QUOTE]
