I was diagnosed after my 1st semester of my Freshman year of High School back in 2010. I had just turned 15 and I didn't think it would happen to me, because I've always been a pretty healthy person. I had just finished Indoor Track, so I think the running may have delayed my symptoms, but of course, the moment I stopped, I became extremely thirsty..all of the classic symptoms..it's a lot for an already stressed out Freshman to deal with. My blood glucose was in the 600s so we caught it before it got much worse.. I started off with pens and since September that year have been on a medtronics minimed pump since then.. I had great control at first, but I did get a little lucky with a honey moon phase that lasted a year and a half..I've been having a little trouble controlling my BGs lately, but with my Doctor's help, soon I think I'll be able to fix that 😊
