How old is everyone

[Oldvatr]

Hey.

How old is everyone in the sector of the forum. And how long have you been a diabetic?

I'm 25 26 in a few days. And have had diabetes for 18 years now.

Always enjoy meeting other diabetics.

Too Old, and getting older by the minute. Interesting how those with the most birthdays seem to live the longest,

Loads of these replies have made me laugh especially the wearing different underwear haha

It's so nice to hear from all different ages I find it weird because I live in my own little bubble it's not untill you reach out you start to realise how many other diabetics are out there it's nice to talk to others who totally understand what day to day life is like.

My age really struck me just before I retired,when I was asked by a very young teaching colleague to be a"living artefact"and speak to yr5 children in my school about life as a child in WW2 for their history studies!! G
