Hi Aurlito,
You're more likely to worry yourself into an early grave, than for diabetes to get you first! :lol:
Wherever did you get your information from? It is very pessimistic and pretty inaccurate if you don't mind me saying so.
You say "I'm 16 and it's been a month since I've been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I know before I have at least 10 years before kidney dysfunction, eye blindness and amputation kicks in and at least eight years before die so now honestly, am I terminal? I mean I only have 18 years before I die right? My doctor is a jerk and he didn't answer my question regarding the complications of diabetes. What are the odds of a diabetic living more than 30 years?" :roll:
If you "know" all these things why are you asking us?
NOBODY "KNOWS" these things for sure. You could be struck by lightning tomorrow, but I bet you're not!
Maybe your doctor didn't get a chance to answer your question about complications before you "shut off" from listening to what was being said to you? :?
Also, have you visited the Diabetes Youth Club on this forum? You can discuss your worries with people nearer your own age.
I think this is all too new to you and still raw. Have patience, get advice, read up about it, and try to take a more positive view.
I thought I was the most pessimistic person in the World, but you may well take my title off me! :wink:
