[QUOTE="Neoncat, post: 1719582, member: 397089"] I followed the classic "stages of grief", starting with denial! Not in that I refused to take my injections or test or anything like that. But no one in my family had it so we didn't really understand what it meant. I was home from Uni and my Mum came with me to the doctors because my little brother had (an unrelated) appointment too. He told us to go straight to A&E but we didn't understand how urgent it was so we went home first and my Mum cooked me a special lunch to prepare for the hospital (poor Mum when we realised later!). I was very DKA so it was straight onto a drip and constant monitoring. I remember sitting there thinking "oh there has been a mistake, I am sick NOW but I've been stressed with exams, I haven't been eating properly" (not surprising based on how sick I was!) "tomorrow someone will tell me that we just need to treat this and then I can go home" Sadly that was not the case! [/QUOTE]
