I have been on insulin for type 2 (they think!) since January 2000, my millennium present, as I had suffered a stroke. Prior to that I had been on metformin/Gliclazide. My diabetes was detected during a well woman appointment. When I had some dental problems I attended the Bristol Dental hospital and the consultant said 'how long have you been diabetic.' I hadn't got round to telling them I was diabetic as I had only just been diagnosed! He said going the shrinkage in the cheek bones I had been diabetic for the past 20 years if not longer.
