[QUOTE="David1963, post: 1612388, member: 105388"] Have never known anything else, having got T1 when I was 2, 56 years ago. So I cant compare. Yesterday's visit to the dietician was one of the worst moments when she told me I needed to drastically reduce coffee drinking to reduce a rising potassium level. Coffee! The pump I am used to, insulin has been trickling in for 56 years from many outside sources - starting with a heavy syringe standing in surgical spirit in the 1960s and now my much more effective pump, with some libre back-up. The various battles with long term impacts such as neuropathy and retinopathy and a little toe coming off are just part of life's rich tapestry but coffee! But seriously, am looking forward to hitting 60 years with T1 and beyond and good luck to you. For anyone newly diagnosed I would say this thing neednt stop you doing anything. Our local MP has been T1 since she was 3 and you wouldnt know it and then of course there is the prime minister. Ever onwards and ever upwards [/QUOTE]
