[QUOTE="Samanthabao163, post: 369192, member: 66441"] I was 18, that was in 1995. I got thrush and no way was I going to the doctor. I thought I could get myself better, as a shy girl there was no chance of anyone checking me out!, I was also drinking loads, sleeping and lost a lot of weight, when I did finally go G.P- I did urine test, emergency hospital and started insulin straight away- I was told I had about three days till I would be dead- not good as scared of needles too, at first I struggled because I couldn't jab myself, ended bk in hospital with vomiting blood from high glucose levels. It took about a year n half to start to except I had diabetes, I was on my oun with little help as my family lived abroad, and to this day I have never been taught how to count carbs ect. Get help ASAP before its too late or u become too embarrassed to ask for help like me. [/QUOTE]
