[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 235122, member: 6467"] Classic symptoms - I was 14 1/2 stone (6 foot tall) and lost half a stone very quickly along with tirdness and thirst. Went to Lloyds Pharmacy, had a finger prick, BG around 14 and went straight round the corner to the surgery. I wasn't diabetic the previous year as I had had a full medical on the company health scheme. I had a nephew who has been T1 since pre-teen. I have since discovered that a cousin is also T2. So probably some genetic component. I am now 12 stone 10 pounds (best weight 12 stone 6 pounds) and diet and exercise are keeping my BG under reasonable control. Cheers LGC [/QUOTE]
