[QUOTE="susieg, post: 175005, member: 31080"] Reading all your stories is fascinating, I thought I was the only one o be diagnosed T1 later in life. I had no symptoms previously, only headaches, (not thinking for one second it was diabetes) then November 2010 I just sarted feeling very tired, (old age, I'm thinking) then the thirst and urinating frequency, then my eyes went all fuzzy and hurt. I got soooo tired, my other half insisted we go to the GP, my regular GP was away, I saw a Locum, who looked at me and said straight away, you're diabetic.... took a test and a urine specimin, and I had keytones and BG of 33. off to hospital for 3 days, T1 at 62 ????????????? I questioned them, no...not T2. T1 !!! on insulin twice a day, BG now down to 6's and 7's and I feel wonderful again... how mad is that... no infection to trigger it off and NO one else with T1 in my family. I still expect them to tell me it was all a mistake and I wasn't diabetic after all... but one sweet and whooosh !! BG ut to 14.. so I've accepted it now. but is it odd that I was diagnosed that late on? [/QUOTE]
