[QUOTE="PlymouthDave, post: 107156, member: 21668"] The main symptom for me was my eyesight. It deteriorated very quickly and it was the Optican that finally persuaded me to go to my GP and I was admitted with DKA that night. Looking back, I had all the other symptoms too: Weight loss - a stone in a month Being a member of the UK nocturnal urinating team! Being tired probably due to lack of sleep (see above). Extreme thirst. When I was admitted, my blood sugars were in the mid twenties with lots of pluses of protein evident. It came as quite a shock as I was 47 at the time and had just retired from the Royal Navy in good health. [/QUOTE]
