Really impressive! Had I not been re-plumbed in August 2013, I would have also celebrated 60 years on 30th July, but I cheated!
Carry on enjoying yourself for a good many more years. All the very best.

60 years congratulations, how time flies, only 50 years for me, diabetes treatment has come a long way, but my doctor told me there would be a cure within 10 years 50 years ago, Oh well maybe one day for new diabetics, so keep going and look forward to you posting 70 years

My mother was informed by the hospital that there was only one other child under the age of 2 in July 1959. I realise that that can't be you, but I have always wondered where they are. I also wonder how they knew that when communication was a bit more primitive. Presumably you were very young - but don't give away your age!

Hi, life with type 1 is like rides at the funfair, from the easy going carousel to the up's and down's of a roller coaster.
It's great to read an inspiring, positive post, well down and huge congratulations :)

Well done Charlie. That is brilliant. I have also just passed a milestone as I have done 74 years with Type 1.
We can hopefully inspire others to catch us pass is with modern insulin and testing regimes.
Once again we’ll done.
