[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 1803417, member: 119069"] Just over 37 years for me diagnosed in 1981 aged 20. I had joined the police force aged 19 and because I was still in probation period lost my dream job. Did not let it get me down and I am still here today with just some mild diabetic eye issues Looking back I really wonder how I and other diabetcs pre 1990 actually survived. Glass syringes, only urine test and insulins that were not that great. I have always ran pretty high blood glucose and its probably only in past 3/4 years I have actually taken it a bit more seriously Just got my Libre on prescription a few days ago and hoping this will make a huge improvement to my blood glucose Congratulations to all on here who have pulled through to the other side, is spite of this horrible medical issue. Thanks for all the tips and hints and support that you guys give, you are the best [/QUOTE]
