I was 31 when diagnosised with Type 1 ( after my Ex left us, what a plonker :lol: ) It would appear that was his parting gift to me :roll:

Type 1 at 23 after 2 months of ignoring the symptoms and insisting I was fine and probably just anaemic again..... Oops!

I was 31 and it was found after I had routine bloods done before surgery. I had no symptoms, so I was a little surprised.

Type 1 diagnosed at 27 years old. Had recently had two children but never had gestational diabetes. However, after my last child was born nearly died of pneumonia which they think triggered the diabetes.

I was 17 when I was first diagnosed. Think it might have been the alcohol I was drinking that brought it on.
