[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 916202, member: 17713"] I was told I'd be lucky if I lived 25 years with it and would get a medal. Diagnosed at 20. Those thoughts always stayed with me. Never, ever thought I would get to 52. Proved my doc wrong too! Uncle now 82 and type 1.5 diagnosed 35 years and has outlived majority of his siblings due to asbestosis in others.... He has been looked after religously by my Aunty.. Food has always been fresh, and home made. Nothing processed and portions similar to war rations. Recently met a chap 62 years with T1!!! He said that he weighed everything and believed his good health down to that and because of carrying on the rationing and no excess all his life. [/QUOTE]
