[QUOTE="curly, post: 2535775, member: 12306"] Hi all not the most cheerful of threads perhaps, but I was wondering for those of you who have complications how long it took for these to emerge? I’ve had type 1 for 15 years and this year have developed first stage retinopathy and now I think I’ve got neuropathy as well, as am experiencing burning in my big toes at night. I’m a bit upset, scared and downright hacked off, if I’m honest. Never had an A1C over 6.5% since diagnosis and usually more like 6.0–6.3%, which has taken a lot of work and I thought was quite good? I got the Libre in December and I’m always in target between 82 and 92% of the time. Again, I thought this was decent control? Seems like everything is kicking in quite early given this and I’m dreading long term prognosis now as I’m only in my early 40s. Or is this completely normal and to be expected 15 years in, regardless of control? Or am I just deluded and my control is in fact not as good as most people’s?! Thanks very much [/QUOTE]
