Hi All, my names Richard i'm 42 and from Wakefield.
Got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on the 26/2. after loosing 2 stone in 5 weeks, didn't think at the time it was diabetes i just thought i was doing real well on my diet, you see i'm going to Cancun on the 19th of April so after Christmas i thought i'd try and loose a few pounds, so i started to cut out all the **** i normally eat, it wasn't till my wife(sarah) told me that drinking 6 litres of diet coke a day wasn't normal, so of to the the doc's i went thinking that maybe i had a kidney infection or something. 1 hour later i'm at Pinderfields diabetes centre been given 16mmol of insulin and been told that i'm now a type 1 diabetic, my blood sugar was 26.5 and my keytones where ++3. It came as a bit of a surprise but it could have been worse(the big C).
Have been reading some of the other posts on on the site and have 1001 other questions to ask. so I'll be back later with some questions i think you guys will be able to help me with.
Thank's Rick......
P.S. Don't ever go to Maybush Medical Centre went in with a smile
came out with diabetes (ONLY JOKING) :lol: :lol:
