[QUOTE="hh1, post: 1979524, member: 146541"] Don't remember the exact date but over 30 years ago went to see my lovely GP, described symptoms and he took bloods. I worked in an area which meant I had a small amount of medical knowledge, so when I went back to see him and he said, really kindly and very concerned, that he was so sorry to tell me that I had diabetes, I simply told him I'd expected him to say that. He was greatly relieved, but unfortunately wasn't sure which type so said we'd try Metformin for a week or two. I left the surgery and went to the library to get some books on diabetes. My biggest concern, when T1 finally diagnosed, was dealing with my new partner (we'd only moved in together a month earlier), who was needle-phobic. In the 30 years that followed he never once saw me inject but was a great support in managing T1. [/QUOTE]
