[QUOTE="therower, post: 1257653, member: 47983"] I would say that I was diagnosed about 3/5 months after first starting to get symptoms. Excessive weight loss, excessive thirst, blurred vision etc etc. Because symptoms came on gradually didn't think anything was unusual at first. It was only when I was emptying the fizzy drinks store at work in the space of 2 days that a work colleague said " you're not right " that I realised something maybe was wrong. Following evening urine test at GPs . Positive. Next day injecting insulin. Guess I've been lucky to have a doctor on the ball. Annoying that you haven't been as fortunate. Hope you can better care and understanding in the future. [/QUOTE]
