  1. I was 39 but the doctor didn’t tell me what i had, I had to take what he had told me and go and trawl through the medical dictionary’s to find what had’ when I saw him again i told him what I had and asked him why he hid it from me a d he said he didn’t think I would cope with it so I told him that was not his decision to make and I had a right to know what i was dealing with. I walked out and didn’t go back to him again.

      1. I was 62 when diagnosed but had symptoms for at least 2 years in hindsight. I was noticing some bladder issues from time to time, and was diagnosed with diabetes at 60, despite no weight issues. Also I felt I was getting weaker. It was swalling issues that really brought things out.Vision has not really been an issue.
