On reflection I had warning signs a while before diagnosis. Sadly no one told me what I should be watching out for (numb hands, thirst and deteriorating eyesight etc.). Family has strong history of condition. In any case male machismo had me ignoring everything until I didn't even have enough energy to go to the shops up the road without being exhausted to the point of needing to sleep after (and losing so much weight that I looked like I'd just been liberated as a prisoner of war).They say I'm type 2, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they are wrong and are reluctant to send me to a  specialist to save costs.PS - I have a feeling that I am pretty close to the average age of onset?</blockquote>
