[QUOTE="snapper84, post: 235556, member: 39736"] Hi All, I am glad to have found this forum and I have found some of the information very helpful. I have recently been diagnosed with Type 1 however it is all very new to me and it just seems to be shed loads of information which I am struggling to process it all. I started with symptoms about 3 weeks ago night urnination, thirst, tiredness and the doctor sent me for some blood tests last Wednesday. I had them and received a phone call on Thursday saying I had high blood sugar and to make an appointment ASAP which I then did on Friday only to be told i have Ketones in my urine and I had to be admitted to hospital. Anyway after spending 12 hours in hospital I came out with a lantus long lasting insluin injection i have to take and told to report back today for another appointment. The DSN told me that I have type 1 and gave me a NovoRapid to take before meals. I am 27 years old male and have no family history of Type 1 Diabetes which makes it all the more confusing. I get the impression that they are saying I am type 1 because of my age, I am not overweight and fairly healthy, but i wouldn't know how to differentiate between the two so i am hoping someone could help me understand what makes them certain it is type 1? There are also other questions I have like i don't want it to control my life and be afraid of it, or change my life drastically. I know initially i will have to make changes and learn to manage it but i am hoping that once i have undergone the initial process of this my life can be as close to normal as it was previously. I used to go away for 5 days with a group of mates for a poker/drinking holiday however guess this will have to change or now be done in moderation? Sorry if i seem ignorant i am just trying to grasp and get some advice, and also express myself because i guess i find this hard to do to people. I am back for another appointment on Thursday but it is all very scary and i just really need to know what to expect within the next few weeks and months. Thanks for listening [/QUOTE]
