How long diabetic?

[falcon123]

Elsewhere Norrtherner has done a calculation to show that nine of us have "served" 239 years! That is over quarter of a century on average. I started on insulin 42 years ago. From one post I think there is someone around the half century. So how long have you had diabetes?

I was diagnosed about 3 months ago, but now I know what I know about Diabetes, I suspect I've had it at least 3 - 4 years before that!!

But I'll go with the 'official' verdict of 3 months!!
