So, chatting to some one about T1 today and they asked about complications. I said as I haven't had it long I should be ok. Then I thought, well have I had it long and just not known?
As far back as I can remember I have always had times in my life where I've needed to get up 4 or 5 times a night for the loo, I've been tired and had hypo type symptoms (which I guess could have been blood sugar going from high back to normal).
How long might I have been T1? Is it possible to have like a "mild" type 1, or be half type 1 for years until it gets bad enough to see the doc? Like ur whole life until u just don't have enough beta cells left?
I guess it doesn't really matter now, but does anyone else think like this?
