[QUOTE="imalittlefishy, post: 225560, member: 32174"] I was diagnosed just after a holiday with my family aged 11, we were driving around Ireland with me and my brother in the back seat and the camping fridge sitting in the seat between us...of course this meant that the orange juice was very close at hand, I dread to think how much juice I drank in those 2 weeks! It was pretty much constant, and when I wasn't chugging juice I was asleep... Then the ferry on the way home was a very rough crossing and I don't do sea travel that well anyway...after a big meal to use up our remaining euros, I felt sick and went to the toilet with my mum. As she was sympathising with a woman in the ladies with a toddler who was being seasick, I passed out on the toilet floor! When my mum brought a urine test for me from work when we got home (she's a practice nurse) and then took me straight to the GP , my blood sugar was 29...it must have been even higher than that on the ferry for me to pass out. My first day of secondary school was about 3 weeks after I was diagnosed and we all had our photos taken...so there's an official record of how ridiculously skinny and pale I was! Like everyone else, in retrospect it all pointed towards something being very wrong but at the time it kind of crept up on me. xx [/QUOTE]
