Hi all I've recently been diagnosed as type 1 at the age of 42 and was wondering if that's quite a common age to get diabetes?
I was 27 when I was diagnosed as a type 1. That was forty years ago this year. My advice is to stay as active as you can. I have slightly reduced sensation in my big toes but otherwise no discernable diabetic damage. I play golf three times a week and ski for a week every year.

About 29 :joyful:

Dunno, I didn't really get diagnosed, I just asked the nurse in hospital if I was diabetic and she said "of course"

I've found it really reassuring to read this thread and realise how many people are diagnosed as adults. I was diagnosed two days before my 37th birthday and ever since that I've been told many times how unusual it is to be diagnosed T1 at my age.

25.
The timing sucks. I was just getting back into strength training and trying to bulk up on a high-carb diet of course...

I was 38. Diagnosed almost 2 years ago. They went back and forth between Type 1 and Type 2 because of my age. Endocrinologist confirmed Type 1 on March 18th.
