Getting Type 1 young vs old?

So i have a good question. Would you have rather gotten type 1 at a young age, or old? I like that I got it at 10 years old because I learned about it young, my body was still in good shape, I enjoyed having that maturity as a kid, and i didn't take many things for granted. However I was mad I got it that young because school was way more difficult to navigate at that age. I remember one time their was a shooting outside of the school and they locked us all down in the auditorium and I couldn't get to my insulin and ended up getting real sick. And a few other times it got really in the way of my school work. But besides that I was happy at a young age for the most part. I don't know just a random question I was thinking about
