[QUOTE="porl69, post: 1655009, member: 334119"] T1D for 45 years. Diagnosed at 6 years old on April 1st 1972. Have never been a very well controlled diabetic. "I" always knew better than the doctors!! Needless to say tghe doctores were correct. Lost my left eye 13 years ago. Would have thought that would have kicked my **** and got me to be a "good" diabetic.... Not the case..... I was diagnosed stage 4 CKD 2 years ago. Absolutely scared the life out of me thinking I would need dialysis which means more injections (I hate injections!!!( after doing over 58K of the bloody things)). Needless to say I am now a pretty good diabetic, only taken me 43 years to realize this lol. Recently been put on the Libre and hopefully in January will be going onto the Omnipod pump.... ALWAYS looking up now and looking after myself (90%) of the time. BUT still get the odd occasion of "WHY ME???" [/QUOTE]
