[QUOTE="Graham Devon, post: 2335731, member: 533345"] Hi folks, Name is Graham and have just been diagnosed a month ago as type 1. Bit of a surprise as I am 54 and been healthy as a horse all my life. To give a bit of background I started to feel a bit bunged up down below, went to the doc in the end after about a month of pain control using paracetamol and ibuprofen. During this period I dropped 15lb to 11 stone though I was barely eating due to the constipation. Surviving on fruit juice and coffee. Doctor ordered me to A&E where a ct scan found a renal abcess 5x8 cm and blood sugar up around the 18 mark. I was started on 70 units of lantus which was quite a painful injection as I am not carrying a lot of fat. Now been changed to Toujeo 60 units once a day and novorapid between 4 and 8 depending on carb content of meal. Had no symptoms whatsoever before going into hospital, during stay or after release.
