Yes I would definitely go to your local hospital or your out-of-hours gp service.
 
Tina,
No-one here is a doctor and even if they were they could not diagnose you over the internet, You are worried about your symptoms, Please phone NHS direct now. If you have the strips test for ketones. If you have high ketone levels then go directly to A&E.
 
Hi

I also agree with Phoenix and Noblehead on this. If your tummy is swolen and your legs and feet are as well, then A&E in hospital is the best place for you to be so I suggest that you get your parents to take you if you can.

I'm off to bed now Tina but feel free to post any questions you have in the Type 1 section of the forum (if it's insulin related) or Ask a Question for other queries, there's always someone that will answer your posts or point you in the right direction.

BTW, did you go to hospital earlier this evening, if not then I suggest you make that trip but get someone to drive you there.
