The diagnosis of your diabetes https://www.carenity.co.uk/forum/diabetes-type-1/living-with-type-1-diabetes/the-diagnosis-of-your-diabetes-20I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 17 years old. At this time, I had often stomach ache. So I went to hospital and the doctor said that I had diabetes.
Diabetes
Is a protocol designed to help cells sense the level of glucose in the body, in order to help secrete the amount of insulin needed to keep the body healthy and balanced.

It helps, Good Luck!!1
I was diagnosed at the age of 24, my symptoms were extreme thirst I used to drink a 2lt bottle of water on a 30min journey to work, ice cold water would only slightly quench the thirst had lost about 3 stone weight (great way to loose weight shame about the after effects)
I eventually sought medical attention due to family advice once doctors did finger test sent me to hospital immediately, spent a week in hospital regulating my bs having to glucose test every hour 24hrs a day.
I think one of the most daunting things of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes was being give an insulin pen for the first time to self inject(I asked nurse to show me for the first one).
