[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 107134, member: 11459"] On thinking back, had a cluster of cold sores in July. First for years but of course thought nothing at the time. Also restless legs which I now relate to same Then in Sept, returned from hols on Sunday. Hadnt lost weight but hadnt put it on which was unusual. On the Weds I was up through the night to toilet- thought Id keep an eye out - maybe a UTI? Thursday night felt very thirsty after going to cinema where I had nachos (sob!), full sugar coke and minstrels. Spent rest of evening literally lying under a tap, doubled over Id drank so much. Up 12 times that night Friday morning - phoned GP. Went to GP to say I had symptoms of diabetes. Was told that I couldnt possible as too young for T1 (ha!) and not overweight/family/age liklihood for T2. On asking why the symptoms I was told it was likely related to my holiday and body settling back in. From italy I may add, not the Congo (quote, unquote to the Doc). BG was taken 'anyway' and I went out for the day to get home to find 3 messages on the phone, urged to go to A and E immediately Admitted from Fri to Sunday night. Bam. T1, straight to insulin, do not pass go, do not collect £200 :lol: Bg of around 28. [/QUOTE]
