Hi Everyone
My name is Carl Wood and I live in Macclesfield Cheshire. As my title says I am new to the forum but not to diabetes. In May of this year I will have had Type 1 Diabetes for 36 years. It has ruined my eyesight to a level that I am registered Severly Sight Impaired and I also have Diabetic Neuropthy so it has claimed two of the the complications we have to put up with, but I can still see the moon and that is miles away.
I have had 7 years on an Insulin pump but have reverted back to injections and have between 6 and 8 per day. My basal insulin is Insulatard which I am told is getting a bit old hat now but Lethal Lantus did not work for me the hypo's were belters so they had to agree to put me back on insulatard.
I look forward to meeting you all on here and reading your experiences of this **** condition
Best Regards
Carl
