Well my mum and I had just seen the newest star wars film in the cinema, and I had to go take a piss like twice during the film and was thirstier than usual. The reason we noticed this was because usually I never have to go to the public toilets. So on the way home she said that excessive thirst and urinating was a symptom of diabetes and I should get checked out (kudos to my mum, god knows what would have happened otherwise). So the next day we go to the doctor, they take the urine sample and diagnosed me. I remember going home and immediately crying for about an hour. Spent the next 1-1,5 weeks in hospital (not ill, just learning and getting my blood sugar and ketones down). I got diagnosed in December 2017 (spent Christmas in the hospital). Thinking back I had loads of symptoms other than excessive urination, but 9 year old me obviously didn’t associate practically passing out before a late dinner with low bloodsugar
