[QUOTE="db89, post: 1419107, member: 374526"] Welcome to the forum [USER=389475]@KEV-81[/USER]. I too can draw some parallels with your experience at diagnosis back in October 2016. Namely the weight loss (shed 6kg+ without realising it), the ketones and the really high blood sugar. I was called back into my GP urgently from an a1c they'd taken routinely (which showed an average of 23mmol/L) when changing surgery and as soon as I'd been seen the next morning sent straight to A&E. I had some blood tests done at first and sent off and since seeing my consultant was told I am Type 1. Must say it was hard to get my head around at first and I started to disbelieve it myself a bit when my honeymoon kicked in after a while as my doses slowly came down (I'm told as it's given my pancreas a break for a bit) but they've stabilised mostly for now. Definitely get the book [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] has recommended if you can it is very useful! [/QUOTE]
