I was 11 yrs old when diagnosed & now am 72. Remember once asking mom to inject the insulin into my upper arm because I couldn't reach that far but her hands were shaking & she couldn't do it. Bless her.

Hats off to you 61 years, superb!
I was diagnosed the same age at 11 years old, only 39 now. I've only done a half marathon in comparison.

And before you ask, you can get type 1 from any trauma to the body.

I was 15 and started on insulin the day Margaret Thatcher became PM (May 1979). I am now 52 and still going strong, despite heart attack in 1999 and 4xby-pass in 2005
