You're in great company being diagnosed as an oldie - i was 43.
I had lost loooaaads of weight by the time I went to my GP and had ketones, but the practice diabetes nurse was convinced I just be T2 because of my age. When I finally rocked up in A&E they were furious.
Still here to tell the tale 2 years on. Takes some getting used to, but the injections become routine. Not easy and it's definitely had an impact on my life.
Hugely helpful forum so don't hold back on the questions!
