I wish speedy recovery for Phan!
It is going to be somewhat of a change in life and in routines, but it is great that you will still get the chance to make one!

Sweet, you are pretty much out of line.
I was in late twenties, completely healthy and sporty guy, when my own type1 symptoms developed recognizable over a weekend and next 2 days. I was lucky to have know some diabetics beforehand, so I knew what to suspect when I went to doctor. However, my blood glucose was then already way over what the quick tests could measure and it might have been the matter of a day or two more to go down the hard way.
I know that low glucose levels cause aggression and irritation and make the diabetics behave irrationally. But really.. dont you, Sweet,  take care of yourself?  That is 4 times in 2 days already.
[edit]I am glad we have the "ignore list" function. Some "I know it all" people just are not worth getting all worked up for. [/edit]
