How old is everyone

[Cloe-1992]

Hey.

How old is everyone in the sector of the forum. And how long have you been a diabetic?

I'm 25 26 in a few days. And have had diabetes for 18 years now.

Always enjoy meeting other diabetics.

Almost four years as a T2.

54 yrs old . I'm half and half now. 27 yrs T1 and 27 yrs " normal "

If I could go back 27 yrs to day 2 of my diagnosis there's only one thing I would change.........newer underpants!!!!!!!!!!
How was I to know the diabetic nurse would want me sitting there, trousers around ankles, practising injections.
Apart from that life ain't been to bad.

Hi. I'm 52. Diagnosed type 2 end of last March. Still not got blood sugars under control but probably due to numerous infections and 3 lots of surgery up until end of December. Hope this year proves to be a little better. Regards.
