    Too Old, and getting older by the minute. Interesting how those with the most birthdays seem to live the longest,

    Loads of these replies have made me laugh especially the wearing different underwear haha :p:hilarious:

    It's so nice to hear from all different ages I find it weird because I live in my own little bubble it's not untill you reach out you start to realise how many other diabetics are out there it's nice to talk to others who totally understand what day to day life is like.

    :cat::joyful::)

    Hello
    I’m 28 and was diagnosed with T1 when I was 5.
    I’ve learnt so much over the years and am still learning!
