Great poll, Hidden ! :-) I picked less than 10 years old because I was 2 weeks old at the time.

What about 50 to 60?

Your symbol used is wrong

30-39

30<40

Both are ok

in reply to jkps

>symbolises greater than hence 40> or greater than and up to 50 is my understanding. But I could have written it a few ways and I see your point.

You got the point.

>50 mean greater than 50

Greater than is followed by the number

I was reading below 180 PPBS IN 1990.The doctor told me I was in pre-clinical stage of diabetes and so did not prescribe any medication.BY 1995,I was fully diabetic.I was 53 then.

Where is 10 to 20?

What about type 1 or type 2 or pre diabetic question?

in reply to sandybrown

10 to 20 is listed, there are 8 options and it’s only displaying 7 so no one has selected it yet.

With polls we have 8 options and usually have 7 + other so are limited to choices and have just done a poll on types of diabetes.

3 years old in 1966. A while ago. When an NHS Nurse or Dr sees me for the first time I say "I am full of holes". Have never been unemployed in my life

Only 72 votes received, 30-40, 28 %, 40-50, 34% and 50 -60, 24%.

The human population and health service needs to address this issue starting from the age of mid 20. AS UK do now a NHS health check is after 40 or 50.

Education on what to look for and what to eat to avoid type 2 is necessary.

You're absolutely right.
