Type 1 diabetes can be diagnosed to anyone at any age!
How old were you when you or your child/partner diagnosed with
#T1D
?
I'll make a visual in a few days with the community's results.
Did you know that type 1 diabetes impacts both children and adults? While type 1 diabetes is sometimes referred to as 'juvenile diabetes,' it can be diagnosed at any age.

Finding people who “see” what is invisible to most is the essence of loved experience peer support and can drastically change your quality of life!
