How long diabetic?

[Adrienne]

I'd like to join in. According to my sacked GP he reckoned I'd be diagnosed anytime soon for definite 😱 hence the 'sacked' once I had given him a lesson on type 1 and type 2 (you can imagine!)

Anyway my daughter diagnosed at birth really with CHI so that is April 2000,
pancreas out 4 weeks later, insulin at 5 weeks old. I bet she's the youngest then !

Really. Gosh. Jessica wasn't expected to be honest, she was a surprise - not the day she was born but the day I found out I was pregnant. I'd just kicked the dad out and bingo found out Jessica was coming 8 months later !!

I tell you the year of 1999/2000 at schools are full aren't they. So many millenium babies.

Hello McCueColin, Thanks for joining in the thread. You ar now No2. behind Bazza with 53 years. I slip down to 3rd equal with Rainbow on 42 years. That 181 years between the four of us!

Some time in June, 1978, so 30 yrs 6 months...joy! 11 months old at the time, so I suspect I'm one of the younger type 1s to be diagnosed from back then at least?! (Not a great claim to fame, I admit!)

I was diagnosed on 6th November (2009). Dont know how long I've actually had it, as I didnt go for my 6 monthly blood tests (I had gestational 7 years ago - last time I was tested was about 2-3 years ago and I was borderline).
