[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 220637, member: 35964"] I had symptoms long before diagnosis, starting from the age of 10! Gradually got worse over the years, was blamed on puberty and other things. Felt exhausted, legs like lead, insatiable thirst, I described it 'as having two gullets, I am drinking and drinking past my thirst'. Forever hungry, feasting on doorstep slices of bread and jam, one evening ate an entire tin of Cadbury's Roses to myself, son came in said 'Mum you smell like pineapple', was drowsy, fell asleep so deep I lost control of my bodily functions, GP paid home visit, bg reading of 38.7. Admitted to hospital, returned home a week later, packed with medication, leaflets and pamphlets and a new mattress waiting for me. [/QUOTE]
