someone asked me this the other day

my answer

TOO BLOODY LONG
 
16 years this January

Dodger
 
21/04/09 for me
 
Diagnosed in 1996 suspect I've had it since 1990 though, god I'm getting old!
 
Six years in March since I was diagnosed.
 
Since 26/01/1984 - so it'll be 26 years in about 10 days time 😱:D
 
August 1999 I was diagnosed .. 11 years for me this year
 
GULP! March 2000 for me - how time has flown. Some hiccups in the first couple of years, but generally HbA1C has been good throughout.

Typically, I haven't found managing diabetes a major issue, the killer for me is alcohol. More than a couple of pints and my levels are out for the next 24, perhaps 48 hours.
 
erm , dont remeber exact date but i know it was september 1989........so 20 years!.................toooo long lol
