43 for me. I was a text book case of type 1 but because of my age my GP surgery insisted I must be type 2 - nearly killed me taking that approach. A&E were furious when I finally turned up with a Hba1C of 148 and sky high ketones.
I was only 9 stone before the rapid onset weight loss. I was closer to 7.5 by the time I was in A&E - so there was nothing else that would say type 2 apart from my age.
No illness or traumatic event in the run up to diagnosis and no history in my family. Pure bad luck.
