[QUOTE="LittleSue, post: 38430, member: 6295"] I too seemed to have a slower than typical onset of type 1, but aged 8. Complicated cos I'd been busy with concussion, road accident, then glandular fever which wouldn't seem to shift. GP tested for glandular fever (negative but said I could still have it), then after a few weeks insisted it was all in my mum's head, so no more tests. Hard to tell when the diabetes kicked in, but I certainly had classic symptoms of diabetes for a few months before diagnosis. I often wonder if the "glandular fever" was really a minor transient virus along with gradual onset of diabetes - otherwise I'd expect to have been in big trouble far quicker. I think there are many more types than we currently have names for. More like subtle shades of grey than distinct black and white. [/QUOTE]
