I have been a diabetic for 10 years in June :( I was diagnosed a couple days before my birthday ...........
I was diagnosed in October 1982 (age 8), it will be 28 years this October!
I've had T1 for 3 1/2 years...Diagnosed in 2007 @ 19 yrs, right after my daughter was born.
11.5 years I think.
Well...April 21st will be 3 years for me.
3weeks and 3 days. March 16th
My son was diagnosed This past Thanksgiving- so 5 months here
My daughter was dxed 12-15-09 so a little over 4 months ago. It feels like a life time already yet so new still too.
16years
Alena,
Been T1 since Oct 1967 - 43 years this year! I'm 63 this tear and agrre that, yeah, it s**cks but think back 60-70 years ago when the choices of how to deal with it were minimal to say the least. We live in a good time
Look at it this way - if done right we'll probably outlast everyone we know. We'll be eating correctly and exercising when we can.
Later,
Jerry
i was just diagnosed this last november and i know how ya feel:( lol but u gotta live w/ it
18 years- I can't even believe it!
It'll be 4 years tomorrow... Doesn't feel like it tho cuz I was pretty much in denial the first year or two.
When I was in the hospital the first time I couldn't help thinking about how much worse I could have it. Probably cuz I was in the children's hospital and the kid in the room next to mine was always yelling and crying! All I could do was feel bad for him and wonder how he could be in so much pain!! :(
