Hi, just posting hear on the new members section before I go and explore the rest of the boards.
My husband is 42, and over Christmas started with symptoms of excessive drinking and weeing. By last week we realised that he had lost a lot of weight (2 1/2 stones) - and he had gone from being a muscley sort of chap to - well , the muscles had just gone.
He went to the GP on Monday - sugar of 20, and was told he had typpe 2 diabetes. Had a fasting sugar on Tuesday and went to work - that came back as 19. BAck to the GP yesterday - found ketone - now he's in hospital on a insulin drip. I'm so scared.
