Hello Everyone,
Thank you for the 19, very interesting stories about how you were DT1 diagnosed. I have asked the same question on a similar Australian Internet site, showing already similar trends RE diagnosis.
I intend to make a summary and a draw a few stats from the posts RE T1D diagnosis, and will discuss with you what should be done with such a document. From the top of my head, approx. 50% of the people are not properly diagnosed, and this is more likely to happen if you are an adult. It seems a much too high percentage... If it is OK with you, please keep sending your posts with diagnosis stories, good or bad, whatever is your age.
