[QUOTE="joelcam, post: 157405, member: 23163"] Hi, When I was diagnosed last year I signed up to every diabetes website imaginable but only really use this one. I still get a lot of emails from the other sites that I read when they arrive though. I had one this morning from JDRF asking me to help raise awareness by downloading a letter and sending to my local newspaper etc. The letter mentioned what T1 is all about but went on to mention that people with T1 have a reduced life expectancy of 20 years on average. Hardly the cheeriest thing to read and my understanding is that there is no reduction in life expectancy particularly if you have great control. This will probably open up a big debate with differing views and I know each case is different but can someone cheer me back up again please! JC [/QUOTE]
