I have been type 1 for 25 years and just out of pure curiousity wonder, how long have other members been diabetic? Type 1 or 2, lada, etc.
Type 1 for 33 years. My brother is also tupe 1 for nearly 35 years!! We were both diagnosed within weeks of our 10th birthdays. I'm now 43 and he's 45 next week. X.
