Hey everyone in the UK..(I don't know how it works in the US)
Does anyone else not get depressed when they read articles like this?

I work full time for a living, and it feels like for what??
When you get articles like this telling me I am going to die young anyway.. probably won't reach my retirement (why do I still bother paying in to my pension - I'm not going to see it anyway). I got diagnosed earlier this year at the age of 31. Been paying into a pension for over 10 years, yet the law does not let you get any of it back until your at least 55.
I think the law should be changed so that if you are diagnosed with a condition such as T1DM, you can get it all back to enjoy it while your still young.
What's everyone else's opinion?
