For the last 2 weeks I've been drinking shed loads of water, like 6 litres a day!! I put this down to the hot weather and sweating a lot. But last Thursday I finished work a bit early, so I called at the doc's just to make sure there wasn't a problem.
The doctor asked the nurse to do a piss test, and then they all started running round and called me in for a blood test, WTF!
And then the verdict.. Yep, you've got diabetes. SHIT! I had to go to the hospital where they were waiting to admit me for the night my blood sugar level was off the scale at the GP's, and off the scale in the hospital.
Get this though, your blood sugar level should be 4-6mmol/L, when my blood test came back from the lab, it was 52.8mmo/L. They said they'd never seen such a high level on someone not in a coma
So now I have to inject myself at least twice a day with insulin! GREAT
Who else has got TYPE 1 Diabetes, and how does it affect your life?
