Misdiagnosed T2 at 34.........re-diagnosed T1 age 36.
 
Type 1, aged 28.
 
I was diagnosed T2 aged 39.
 
T2 at age 64
 
Type2. Diagnosed at 46 ....BUT....
Retrospectively I'm fairly sure I had gestational diabetes (explains exactly how my daughter presented at birth and my bad spells in pregnancy ascribed to anxiety) and then started diabetes at about 34/5 (ie 4/5yearslater) when i started having sugar cravings.

levemir;Novarapid; Glucophage,simvastatin
 
Gestational at 30 on insulin
then T1 at 31 (it didn't leave with the bump)
then fizzled out until pre-diabetes at 52 :confused:
 
T2@ 40.....
 
I was diagnosed type 2 aged 25, changed to type 1 aged 28.
