"If all goes well..." How many times have I heard that before. My brother's diabetic, and it went undiagnosed for a long time because he had just had surgery (here's where the quote comes in) that, well, went wrong and he got a blood infection from it. He went from about 180lbs to just over 100 in the span of about six months. The doctors didn't know what to do and were about to put him on a binge junk food diet. It was at this point that one of the doctors (oddly, the one who screwed up the surgery in the first place) suggested they test his urine. Two days later, they called him back to the hospital to start treatment for diabetes.
