[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1759112, member: 196960"] I agree that if I had been diagnosed as a child then my childhood would have been different as I would have been treated with exercise and more outdoor pursuits. I cried for a horse. We could afford it but it was discouraged due to risk of falling off, nervous wreck of a mother. I took lessons when I was older but never the same. I was encouraged to play indoors and never to adventure out. :( One child dying in childhood was enough for my mum and her family. Which I understand now but never did as a child. Diabetes type2 in childhood was unheard of in 1970s in England. Well by my 2 GPs at the time. I was lucky to have an unaffected childhood because of not being diagnosed. I haven't suffered from it other than obesity which is my only complication up until recently. On insulin til it can be reviewed after bariatric surgery. Hoping for a date this year for op. I think being diagnosed in childhood (6yr old and had symptoms) would have changed things. I may have got my horse after all or made my mum worse. No mum available and diabetes at 6yr old. I wouldn't fancy that. Even a horse couldn't have replaced my mum I adored. [/QUOTE]
