- Five times a day injections as I can't get on with a pump due to my job.
I have had T1 Diabetes for 48 years. I was diagnosed when I was 3 years old

Only 47 years on insulin - but it's the tiredness that prevents me from living the life I'd like. My three children have made all the efforts worthwhile, even though one of them was diagnosed as Type ! age 6 she is now expecting herself...50 years on insulin here, BOHDE and I feel for you. With me it's the constant tiredness which seems to have become much worse in the past 12 months although that might be an age thing but I am not sure. I worry about sometimes about what might be ahead.
It's good though that you've found the forum and the support of the great folks on here can't be beaten. Come back often and keep chatting with us.

I too remember the holidays in Suffolk, I have been diabetic for 55 years (diagnosed in 1959), I have had a heart problem but all settled now and I still work but only for two days a week, and I play tennis twice a week. I still enjoy life and keep on keeping on and trying not to let things get me down.Neatly 50 years, anyone remember the camping holidays in Suffolk. Was just diagnosed at age of 12 and at the time thought I was only diabetic in the world, but at camp realised was not alone lol. Feeling tired but due to age and other complications, and trying to keep weight down, but very hard due to limited mobility due to vascular disease.
