[QUOTE="Paul520785, post: 2197832, member: 28546"] [FONT=Arial]I am Type1 and now in 62nd year of insulin injections. I am now experiencing the effects of getting old (Aching knees) but not suffering from any diabetic complications that I know of. My process is to maintain the Same level of insulin daily and to tune the BG balance by what I eat. This means that I am able to enjoy sticky buns and sweet tea when I need to work outside. I am expecting to have 2 or 3 trees to cut up and move in the next few days with the wind as strong as it is here so my daughter has promised to bring me 2 chocolate swiss rolls and a couple of pints of bottled brown ale to lubricate the task. So having never worried about being T1 and just got on with things has worked for me - and - I saw my consultant for an annual review last Friday and received the compliment " I have just scanned your notes and realised that you have been Diabetic for over 60 years - You must be a genius! Well done for learning about the condition and finding what works well for you" My motto is - I can do anything that anyone else can but I take my sandwiches with me. ( I do not recommend cheese and tomato sandwiches on a jet ski - they are difficult to eat when flavoured with sea water!) So put simply - look after your BG and just enjoy life![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
