[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1646085, member: 372717"] Yup, I've been a T1 for 47 years, with absolutely atrocious control in my teens and early twenties, and had several periods of mediocre/bad control since then. I've made a big effort to improve my control and lifestyle over the last 5 years, though. Complications? So far, only very very minor, and none that have required medication or affected the activities I can do. You don't have to be perfect to lead a normal life, though honestly I feel much better when my blood sugars are in reasonably normal ranges. At your age I'd still be hoping for a long term cure (or at least much better treatments) and keeping your blood sugars under control will both make your life easier and minimise any possible complications. Good luck, I've been where you are today. Things got better for me, they can for you too. [/QUOTE]
