I've had it since I was 4 and now 45, better nowadays with fine needles, my parents we're always worried with me having bruises from the old glass syringes and nail needles.

21 years - was diagnosed just before I got married!!! I think the stress brought it on. It's gone downhill since then (the diabetes!! )

Hi I've had it 44 years and it does bring it difficulties. You do get fed up with it but you know that will turn around . Keep strong and positive and allow yourself some off times but not too much :)
