Totally ancient - 61 in hospital for investigations into gall bladder trouble. I had been told I was Type 2 in early 2008 then in October my consultant did other tests and said at first LADA then ongoing Type 1 - take your pick. 😱

I was 2 years old and 10 months. I was diagnosed over the Easter weekend.

 

[lauraw1983]

I was 28.

If I hadn't been on the ball about it I don't think I would have diagnosed as quickly though, and still at the start they tried to tell me I was Type 2...

23 for me it really is a wide age difference isnt it.

I was 43 and was told I was a freak of nature. Doesn't seen so reading so many posts from others on here.

Yes, I know it's only a small poll here, but it does seem to show that there seem to be as many people diagnosed as adults as there are diagnosed as children 🙂

 

[heasandford]

I was 48. Perhaps its just that oldies answer polls!!

Not really, because some of the older members were actually diagnosed as children! 🙂

That higlights how ignorant or ill informed the doctor/nurse who told you that was.🙄

Many seem to still dwell in the past before the true differences were understood. They really should go back to school and at least catch up with the 80s and 90s, even if they can't manage the 21st century.
