MY cousin who has just turned 16 yrs old has just been diagnosed a type 1 diabetic.
She was taken into hospital Saturday night and was sent home Yesterday 06/03/202/12, which i thought was rather quick.
I am now not the only type 1 in the family now, but then i have had diabetes since the age of 6 yrs.
I am not sure what insulin they have put her on yet, but will find out.
She hasn't been well for quite some time ( but i have only just found this out), but she was a large young lady who has lost four stone in about 8 months, virus after virus and then started drinking alot but my family or the doctors had added it all up considering they new what happened when i was diagnosed.
I am glad she is out of hosp, but i just thought it was a bit too soon considering they had only let her inject herself a few times, so what i am asking has this happened to any other youths.
Just concerned as i know things have changed so much.
I wish her all the best, but feel sorry for her as it has come at the age she is and any others like her.
A big life style change considering they have been so use to having what they want, when they want.
