Diagnosed with an illness, and he wants his happy, fun loving energetic gf back

[Dis]

that type I is usually diagnosed in childhood and type II is usually diagnosed in adulthood

 

That's incorrect, alpha

 

Type 1 can be diagnosed as late as the 20's.

 

Type 2 usually isn't diagnosed until the 50's or 40's at the earliest

I'm an RN, if that matters

 

 

even Wikipedia says age of onset for type I is Mostly in children and age of onset for type ii is Mostly in adults

Well for the record, I am 43 and was just diagnosed as Type I in February 2018. I weigh 104 lbs and I’m physically fit, work out 5 times a week. Guess I’m an exception to the rule of Type I vs Type II

***Note from Moderation****

 

Let's not debate the if's and's and but's of type I and type II, that is really off topic to this thread and for the people with a medical background let's leave your professional reference's off this thread and LoveShack in general.

 

LoveShack is not a professional medical site where people can come here and get advice from medical professionals and any medical advice given in that context will be deleted.

 

thanks

When someone is diagnosed with a serious disease it affects the entire family. I imagine your bf was shocked, scared and angry, not with you but the disease itself. I'm sure after getting his emotions together he realizes that he loves you enough to go through this with you. Try to forgive him and give him a chance. I think since this disease is fairly new to you you may need someone to be around for support. I know people who live very normal lives with T1D.
