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 😱

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.
