[QUOTE="prancer53, post: 1851374, member: 85578"] 57 years....type 1. Put it down to good BM s/ HBAc1 s, understanding of type 1, food-- cho contained in, exchanges and an absolute ton of exercise (as recommended by docs in 1960 s when 1st diagnosed) and not being obsessed by diabetes but doing the right thing in order to have energy to do as I wanted to do!!!!!!!. Trained full time as a dancer (Mother originally sent me to ballet lessons to follow doc's advice re exercise then at 16 was accepted at a London ballet school for professional, full time training). Worked as a professional dancer to until I was 27 yrs. Listening to my body. I never, ever wanted to lack energy as when I was 8 years old and diagnosed with type 1. Upshot was that I was in control of diabetes, my life, what I wanted to do etc. Not feeling sorry for myself but just getting on with things. Developing coping strategies. Remaining very active throughout life & looking after myself.....think that's just about it. Wasn't brilliant during early teenage years.....teenage rebellion ruled...OK (ha ha) but realised error of my ways and reformed pretty quickly...!! Think that's it. So lovely to read these messages from others who have had type 1 for ages...so many people I knew have died of awful complications at a young age.....xx [/QUOTE]
