[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 567387, member: 89494"] I have an 80 year old friend who was born with the condition. She is as fit as a fiddle. She wears shorts skirts and dresses like a young girl. She has never had a single complication. The only complication (if you can call it a complication) is that she has lost all hypo awareness. She is in my DAFNE group. Her secret is to keep BG below 10 which should give you a HBA1C of 7%. It is good to know that with good control, complications can slowly be reversed. This is my 13th year of being a T1. I only started taking my condition seriously about 2 years ago and the change has made a big impact on my life already. I do prefer these inspirational threads and hope to see more of them on this site. I wish you all long healthy and happy lives. [/QUOTE]
