Hi there - I had a similar experience. I was 50, 190 cm and 80 kilos and cycling and keeping fit. Then I was feeling tired, thirsty, weight loss etc and the doctor spotted T1 diabetes. How did that happen?? A mix of family genes and catching a virus that knocked out my ability to produce insulin.
Now a couple of years on I look at it more positively as a chance to stay fit and healthy as before but with an extra 15 mins a day testing, counting carbs and injecting insulin. It's not so bad and I feel much better and more in control.
Hope this helps and good luck.
