Here, at diagnosis, yes! LOL
But there are lots of T1s older than you generally. Since it appears we don't drop dead quite as quick as they thought when we were first diagnosed !
Just for interest, what did you call Patti's age at DX Mike? - the age she first got diabetes (which any of us who have heard her story know was always T1) although it took her over 8 years to get em to do the tests.
I always wonder if I had any such tests and what my A1c was anyway. I know they had an armful of blood every single day (for the first few days, morning AND evening) as they hadn't invented finger prick tests then!
