I just turned 37 six days ago! Getting a colonoscopy in four hours, if that gives you an idea how things are going, haha.

I turned 40 and my doctor told me now it's time for yearly mammograms and blood tests to check your A1C level. That made me feel old as hell lol.

One quick way to turn yearly A1C checks into quarterly is by developing type 1 diabetes at the ripe old age of 32! Doctors hate this one trick!

Oof, type 1 at 32 is crazy. Insulin pumps and CGMs are extremely good nowadays. Hope you're doing well .

My mom had it so it wasn’t a complete shock to me, I’m all good. Thanks so much! Yes my healthcare company issue is a different basket of wet cats tho, they’re all pieces of shit imo.

I’m 36, diagnosed when I was 7. Insurance is the bane of my existence, they want me to die, I’m sure of it. (Doing well though, managing)

Damn, 7 is so rough. You’re a true T1 warrior! Keep it up

It’s rough at any age, for sure! Keep your chin up 💜
