[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1979206, member: 256148"] Oh yes indeed! Just over three years ago I went to see the doctor (a young trainee) due to pains in my legs and she diagnosed peripheral arterial disease. During the course of conversation I mentioned that I'd lost a fair bit of weight over the previous 18 months or so and this seemed to set off a lightbulb moment and the lovely lass ordered a full blood test. A few days later I received a later confirming diabetes. Could have knocked me down with a feather as I didn't think that I had any of the 'classic symptoms', I wasn't overweight, in fact far from it, and ate a fairly healthy diet. I'm grateful to this young doctor for her gumption in testing me for D and just as grateful to her for pointing me to this site, DCUK, to find out more information and support. I ought to add that the information I've gained on DCUK has been far more valuable than any provided by local DSNs or by my new GP. Dave [/QUOTE]
