This is scary…

Diabetes In Control Newsletter – The Earlier You Get Diabetes, The Worse it Will Get

Especially since I was diagnosed at 42.
People who develop type 2 diabetes when they’re younger than 50 years of age are more likely to experience a worsening of their disease than those diagnosed at an older age.

    I wonder if this applies to people with type 1? I was diagnosed at 19, and many people get type 1 well before that as well.

    The story scared me too, since i was diagnosed at 29. I try to be positive, but news reports about diabetes are so often morbid like this one.
    My optimistic antidote: I will have more time to anticipate medical advances that may change all that.

    This is exceptionally scary. Diabetes is bad enough without people having to worry about the effects getting worse the earlier you get it

    Diagnosed at 35, now 52 and still not on insulin. HbA1C stable at 5.1 to 5.5 for many years now. These studies provide important statistical data that describes RISK, but they don’t precisely predict what will happen to a given individual!
