Good news/bad news

The good news is that I tested negative for Type 1 autoantibodies...


... The bad news is that I was just called old by a letter.

    Yay for no autoantibodies!!!! As for "old"? They don't know what they are talking about.

    Have you opted not to have your other kids tested? We have not had our 2 year old tested, but thankfully my husband and I both tested negative as well...

      The other two are just too young right now. Maybe when they're older. I haven't decided yet.

    I had the opposite TrialNet result, but the same age insult vibe. I am desirable as a test subject because I am so wicked old (42!) w/ antibodies.

    But would a T1 diagnosis make me feel young? Or would I just have so much, "But...you're so old! How could you have T1?" that it would make me feel old? I would probably wind up as an anecdote about how this EXTREMELY OLD lady was diagnosed.

    Shut the door.

    I think they just put that "age requirement" thing for anyone who is an adult. Mine said the same thing, I am still in my 20's.
