My gp also thinks I was undiagnosed for many years. Now that I think of it, I probably had high-ish bg for up to 10 years before final violent onset and diagnosis. Before that it wasn't obvious and I saw many doctors (including endocrinologists) who didn't notice.
I read that with t1 the symptoms don't usually appear until you lost 80% of pancreas function - and with LADA you can have slightly higher bg for years before picking it up.
Because of my "late" diagnosis I have nerve and muscles problems in legs and cataracts.
So I wouldn't say 'if you're only diagnosed recently you're safe from complications".
