I have been diagnosed just a year now and am pleased to say life is starting to feel normal again.
Recently, I have been thinking about before I was diagnosed and have realised that I had lots of symptoms of type 1 diabetes including athletes foot, thrush, palpations, quick breathing, tiredness, thirst and weight loss. My GP, hospital etc missed the diabetes mainly due to my age (42) - luckily I found this forum and the kind people here probably saved my life!
When I was at last diagnosed my blood sugar was 51 and I was very ill.
Does anybody know how long it takes for Type 1 diabetes to develop? I’m just curious as to how long I had the problem before I knew!
