I'm a recently diagnosed Type "Yet To Be Determined" diabetic - but most likely Type 1.
My father and his (only) brother are both Type 1, as was my grandfather who died before I was born. My father suspects his grandfather also was a diabetic. I'm almost the same age as my father when he was diagnosed too.
Due to the above, I wasn't greatly shocked when the Dr told me that I had diabetes.
My biggest challenge will be making the time to do more exercise. I'm an engineer by profession - and sit at the computer for most the day. In the evenings I like to play with my almost 2 year old.
I'm an occasional player of Second Life (yes I did notice the group, shame the Diabetes UK office seems to have vanished) and an avid fan of Motorsport.
