| I was 40 when I was dx'd with type 1 and having a younger brother with the disease, you would have thought I would have recognized the symptoms.........but I didn't. I didn't realize there were other symptoms other than urinating & being thirsty all the time.
For at least 5 years prior to being dx'd, I experienced changes in vision, shakiness & mood swings, constant yeast infections. Two months before the diagnosis, I was exhausted to the point where all I wanted to do was sleep, I had lost quite a bit of weight and was starting to urinate more often than I had been.
