Was 7, 23 now. I remember it all very well doctors kept miss diagnosing me with constipation of everything, luckily my mum was very pushy with the doctors after she had tests done in hospital in labs she worked in and got some test done by someone else. Time I was admitted to hospital they said 12 hour I may have been in a coma feel very lucky.

I was 8, I'm 42 now. My son was diagnosed on my 38th birthday (he was 11) and yes, we're both Type 1 - or Juvenile onset as it was known in my day.
