[QUOTE="rochari, post: 565112, member: 68255"] Auckland Canary, so far I've got no diabetic complications. Over the years some doctors have mentioned to me that may be because of the direct genetic link I have. My mother, grandmother and great-grandmother were all type 1's. My great-granny died from the disease as there was no insulin available then. The constant tiredness is my biggest problem but, as I mentioned, that is possibly now an age thing. I'm only in my 60's but I do sometimes feel a lot older. Of course, the kids say I've lost all street-cred anyway as I don't have a smart phone and watch gardening programmes! Bill [/QUOTE]
