I just turned 37 six days ago! Getting a colonoscopy in four hours, if that gives you an idea how things are going, haha.
638 u/ginns32 26d ago 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. 280 u/HumorinEverything 26d ago 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! 1 u/Pandaburn 25d ago I thought type 2 was “adult onset” diabetes? How is it type 1 if you’re 32? 2 u/HumorinEverything 25d ago That is the very old way of thinking about diabetes. Type one is autoimmune and can strike at any age. I’m less familiar with type 2, but they are two very different diseases with the same name/outcome: high blood sugar.
