Straw poll: what age were you diagnosed?

[everydayupsanddowns]

Do any of you T1s have a sibling with it too? I live in fear of my daughter developing it too.

Nope. No kids or nephews/nieces either (fingers crossed!)

Do I get a prize for being the youngest?

Close but no cigar - I was just 11 months old! Type 1.

Younger sis was also diag'd T1 in her mid teens, but I think it is very rare for t1 in siblings??

Hi Twitchy,

11 months is young! Bev

Hello there

I've a little project on the go, where it would be very helpful to get a feel for age distribution at diagnosis. If you are happy to share that info please either reply or PM me with your D type and the age you were diagnosed.

I'll go first: type 1, diagnosed at 21

 

[Casper]

Oops! Forgot to put that in - I was 38 and a half.

Type 2 dx 2011 when 66 but had a urine sugar reading 2 years prior which was ignored by Dr
which could explain why I am on insulin already.
