What percent?
Just curious of the people on this site, what percentage of your life have you lived with diabetes?
I've lived with diabetes for 70% of my life. I'm 31 and was diagnosed with Type 1 at the age of 9.

One of the "lucky" ones here. Turning 51 next month, diagnosed summer 2012. 1%.
They suspect I had had it for a longer but indeterminate time beforehand.
Still learning. As I told the diabetes experts during my visit in November, "I have become my favourite science experiment". Lemonade from lemons.

Not so long for me. 5 years diagnosed at age 38. Just under 12% of my life.

66%, dx@ 16, now 45. Did I do the math right? I did Jen's the same way and got her number. It seems like a long time though. I was thinking 1/2 and was like "oh, wait..."

50 % as type 2. Now 65; diagnosed in the 80's.
I believe here was some earlier data in 70's indicating pre-diabetes but diagnostic tools un clear then.
Not interested in bragging rights. Don't need em.
