[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 998223, member: 53162"] I found this very emotional reading, what a brutal but honest story. I had my party days when I was younger too but wasn't a type 1 then, this certainly makes you realise the peer pressure faced in our younger years and the desire to fit in and not stand out 'medically'. I know some of us struggle massively with managing type 1 but maybe just maybe more sincere accounts like this will inspire all to take it seriously and live long healthy lives. My 2 last eye checks showed background retinopathy, it remains unchanged and not sure if it will go in time with better control, but losing my sight and not being able to watch my daughter grow up is my biggest fear with type 1.
