I was 24 years of age with diagnosis of Type 1, just a few weeks ago.

I was 18 years old when diagnosed. A bit more than 10 years ago.

I was diagnosed 3 months ago at the age of 25, type 1. I've pondered the question of which is worse, having this disease for your entire life, or getting it in the middle. I guess I should be thankful for having the pancreatic ability for as long as I did have.

Moving away is a big deal! That was really brave of you. I was diagnosed the day before my 10-day trip to North India. It didn't stop me either :)
