Where to start?

Obviously the best answer is 'at the beginning', but since I have no real idea when that was, I'll start in the place that most good stories do; partway in.

But I don't have a choice in that since that is where we find ourselves.

My husband is a diabetic.  We found out a few days ago, but he has been having symptoms of it for a year or more now. Hindsight = wonderful? I beg to differ.

We have a 16 month old toddler, so when he started to feel tired, we cited sleep deprivation. The extra drinking was mostly unnoticed since who on earth actually keeps track of these things? The weight loss was also put down to added  running around after said baby, and extra trips to the little boys' room was thought to be from perhaps having drunk more than usual that day.

It was only when we thought to consider a whole bunch of days together that we noticed a pattern and he decided to contact the doctor for an appointment.
