British Home Secretary, Theresa May, has revealed her recent diagnosis with type 1 diabetes.<\/p>\n

According to a BBC report doctors initially thought Mrs May had type 2 diabetes, but two months ago it was revealed to be type 1 diabetes. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail she admitted that it was “It was a real shock” and that although it took her a while to come to terms with the diagnosis she is determined to continue with her gruelling routine as Home Secretary.<\/p>\n

In the interview May told the Mail that “It started last November. I’d had a bad cold and cough for quite a few weeks. I went to my GP and she did a blood test which showed I’d got a very high sugar level – that’s what revealed the diabetes.” Although she had all of the classic symptoms – weight loss, thirst and extreme tiredness, initially doctors thought the 56-year-old politician was suffering from type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

For months the British media speculated that Home Secretary May’s weight loss was linked to a potential Conservative Party leadership bid, but she said it was all a due to her illness and that she had no plans regarding Conservative Party leadership.<\/p>\n

When asked about her ability to remain in office while dealing with type 1 diabetes May said: “It doesn’t and will not affect my ability to do my work. I’m a little more careful about what I eat and there’s obviously the injections, but this is something millions of people have. I’m OK with needles, fortunately.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
