[QUOTE="Samanthacxo, post: 668845, member: 90076"] 1 year on the 24th of November, no complications so far. Didn't have a very nice diagnosis, after falling ill at work and ending up in a&e with very high bg and ketones. I lay in the emergency receiving unit very sick on a saline drip overnight not knowing what was happening. Only to be told the next day by a "consultant" that because of my age and weight (22 & just over 7 stone) that I was type 2, and should cut back on bad food and eat more fruit and veg. I was discharged with a bg of 20+ with not a drop of insulin or medication, and very frightened!. Thankfully that was all sorted the next day at the diabetic clinic, where they confirmed type 1!.
