Message: <blockquote data-quote="agwagw" data-source="post: 2762740" data-attributes="member: 415845">My brother developed Type 1 at age 6. I developed diabetes at age 30 - they thought it was T2, but the medications didn't work of course. I was in denial as I was very slim at the time. It has since been diagnosed as 'latent autoimmune diabetes in adults' - LADA, which has a slower progression than childhood onset. In terms of triggering events, my brother had a very bad case of bronchitis shortly before developing diabetes (it was 1960 so diagnosis of the cause of the bronchitis was not clear). In my case I was under extreme pressure at work with lots of stress - no idea if it was contributary.</blockquote>
