How old were you when you were diagnosed with Type 1? What are the age ranges to be diagnosed?

I was 11 when I was diagnosed with Type one, when I was in hospital there was this boy my age and he had been diabetic since he was 3 months old.
Dad was diagnosed early 20's and his brother later 20's so the ranges can vary.

Around 10 years, 9 months, 19 days. Odd thing is, even though I've had it over 36 years, I still have the maturity of a 7 year old.
