[QUOTE="Sallycook, post: 566457, member: 34565"] I was diagnosed at the age of 3 in 1960, so that's 54 years I've been Type 1 now. I've had a few eye problems but I've got a fantastic diabetes team at Rugby St. Cross Hospital and my GP's surgery, plus the Retinopathy team at Walsgrave in Coventry - between them they keep me on track! My weight's always been a problem coz I love my food, but Slimming World has helped - really good for me as I'm also vegetarian. Things are so much more positive for diabetics now and it's getting better all the time. I can't believe all the advances in recent years that living with a condition like ours is made so much easier than when I was a kid. [/QUOTE]
