That's a good point, my grandad was absolutely riddled with cancer (lived about a week after diagnosis, it was everywhere), his death certificate said heart disease, no mention of any cancer.

Many people contract pneumonia, especially older people who may already be in a weakened frail state, then die
In fact what am I talking about. I have every death certificate for my direct ascendants and none of them mention diabetes or any health complications that would suggest so
I will still blame my Ex
Hi,
I spent 7 years working for a secure document destruction compaany.. Some of the jobs were "purges" on law firms, prisons as well as private customers & other industries.. I also did massive purges in hospitals in the south west from stuff going back many decades?
"Died of a broken heart" seemed to crop up as I was waiting for the hydrolic shredder to take a hopper full of paperwork..
So, what would that mean? Suicide in a hospital? Unwedlocked childbirth? Different "terminology" back in the day.. "Shell shock" I believe is now post traumatic stress..
Diagnosis is different these days & they still don't get it right.
I was diagnosed T1 at the age of 8, back in 1976. My mum got fobbed off by our GP & a nurse friend of hers spotted it & had me admitted to a kiddie ward less than an hour later? Pretty much allocated a bed & hospitalised for a week..
Proffessional knowledge & experience, pending on the era.. I'm sure there were all sorts of stuff not known about a century ago.. Cancer, AIDS.
There's still a misconception T1 is caused by a "trauma." Really?
I fell down some stairs as a 5 year old (i remember it.) when a nurse asked has there been any trauma?" That's the worst my mum could think of... Lol.
& so you continually do so..
Or coincidental with the diagnosis? Just maybe the rising BG levels prior to the revelation of T1 hadn't helped with rational emotional response..?
We don't know your ex it would be unfair & un-ethical without your ex on the forum to respond...[/QUOTE
This did make me chuckle lol
I will still blame my Ex[/QUOTthE]
Jaylee, if I want to 'contribute' my diagnosis with my ex at that time, then I will do so, because It is tongue in cheek and it was represented with the rolling eye's emoji. which is clearly visible and sometimes, I might even put lol too
At present we know there is no actual proof as to why someone is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, so, until we get some scientific proof, your quote of & so you continually do so..' I ruddy well will ........................
My mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were, like me, all type 1's. Insulin wasn't available for my gg-mother and she died around 6 months or so after living on a diet mostly of cabbage. I am sure it isn't my imagination and positive my grandmother told me her mother's diagnosis was confirmed after her urine was tasted. Bill

So sad to read about your poor gg-grandmother, people just wasted way back then.
Urine was tasted to see how sweet it was, so your imagination was probably correct.
When a GP came to see me at my relative's house because I was unwell, he said , 'I can smell pear drops', which then was a classic sign, but so much better than the older 'tasting' test.
