How old were you when diagnosed?

I was diagnosed when I was six, so I've been diabetic for almost a decade now.

I was diagnosed 31 years ago (this coming Saturday is I think my "dia-versary") at age 14.

That makes me a newbie compared to the 50-year folks here :-).

Yes, four times. It seems like it is almost always something when I go back to DisneyWorld. Except my 4th trip, I stayed on the property but never went into the actual parks. It seems my issues are inside the park not outside in the hotels and downtown Disney. Now on a more positive note I have been to DisneyLand three times and only once was there an issue.

PS: No I really am not really all the thrilled about going to Disney Parks. It just sort of seems that way. Two of the trips were personal and the rest were for business or school

I was 30 when diagnosed with T1D. January 2014 will be 30 years, half my life.
