[QUOTE="Jonty55, post: 2017221, member: 502883"] I became a Type1 diabetic age 8 in 1963, by fairly elementary maths it is possible to determine That I am now 64 and have had the disease for nearly 56 years. It’s quite clear that I have been lucky in all manner of ways. I was brought up by parents who put enormous energy in feeding me excellent healthy food and encouraged me to take part in sports and activities, which I have continued to prescribe too and prosper from. 16 years ago I was fortunate enough to be put on an insulin pump and two years ago I started self funding a Dexcom continuous blood monitoring system that I have become very dependent on. I still work full time and it’s my intention to stay healthy for as long as I am able. [/QUOTE]
