4th September 2009 so just over 2 months.
 
June 1974 for me so that's 35 years, 5 months - not bad since I'm only 21 🙂
 
Late september (err somewhere around the 28th ish?) 2008, so just over a year... Like Helen ( i think) said, that was when i was diagnosed, in hindsight i was probably struggling for a while before that, maybe as much as a year and a half..h
 
Diagnosed June 2000 as T2, on Tablet meds

Then put onto insulin jabs Feb 2009

But still T2

november 2000 so nine long years

hehe phew im not the only one. I cant say I really thought of it as a day I should remember. I doubt my mum has a clue either! I only remember I was 18 because of the things I had going on in my life (ie A Levels!) and because the nurses felt sorry for me being with the oldies because I looked about 12-ish and was only just too old 😉 :D

All I know was I was diagnosed in 1996. Other than that I don't know anything else. I might have a peek in my file next time I go to the clinic to see exactly when I was diagnosed.
 
February 2008, so coming up to 12years!
