[QUOTE="notoriousnick, post: 2261463, member: 184562"] I posted here almost five years ago. I've just about had T1 for 48 years now (Dx in 1972) and am 60 years old. Time for an update :happy:: [LIST] [*]I've dropped the insulin pump and do very well with insulin pens instead (much less hassle and beats carting a pump around everywhere). [*]For the last few years I've taken up using the Libre sensors, combined with the Miaomiao bridging device and a smartwatch. Best things ever! [*]I retired (early) [*]I ran a hilly trail ultramarathon (56 km), plus two other road marathons and will do another once Covid19 retreats and things return more back to normal. [*]I got married (second time around - she's a runner, too!) :woot: [*]Took up sea-kayaking [*]Still no complications (which I attribute to all that exercise) [/LIST] Cheers, Nicholas [/QUOTE]
