[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 1718203, member: 90156"] I was 15 and had been exposed to type one diabetes all my life because my younger brother had it.... I don't actually remember a doctor telling me face to face in hospital that I had diabetes, it was just assumed silently which I find strange....it wasn't a young child who couldn't handle it..... I distinctly remember going through several emotional states, denial, anger, grief..... It hasn't really effected my life or stopped me doing anything I want to do.....I do believe that when my time is up there will be a connection with the diabetes.... getting a diagnosis today isn't so bad as the knowledge and technology that exists can make life a lot easier with diabetes.....its just unfortunate that not all diabetes have equal access to the knowledge and tech....
