[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1846578, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=474144]@Jan(I love Goldies)[/USER], 51 years on insulin here, from age 13, here in Australia. I recall those frightening days, sitting in diabetes clinics with other patients, blind, amputees etc. And the harping on by doctors about complications. I am glad you have survived that era too ! I have had cataracts replaced (I blame the Aussie sun !!), carpal tunnel releases, trigger finger releases but that is all. Life has improved with starting on an insulin pump in 2011. I was too stubborn to do so earlier! Now retired and at least these days I have to agree with my specialist that encouraging children and teenagers with type 1 diabetes to obtain a good normal age retirement plan once employed is a great step forward. Best Wishes and please keep posting about your experiences. [/QUOTE]
