[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2451132, member: 450212"] Type 1 does not mean either is guaranteed at all, for a start there is now much more tech and upgrades to insulins than back in the day - I know quite a few of us on these forums have had Type1 for 40+ years (myself included), my kidneys are still doing perfectly fine and I get tests every year (from the NHS) to make sure they are still fine - and there are treatment options if they do find anything, and I've certainly not got any gangrene, I mean we do have to keep an eye on any infections we may get as that can lead to trouble - but mostly that's just common sense anyway :) But yes, whilst Type1 can be a complete PITA at times, there is much better stuff available now and lots of yearly (or more) checks to try and prevent/delay/treat/stop things going wrong. And welcome to the forums :) [/QUOTE]
