[QUOTE="Minnie45, post: 874604, member: 131752"] 40 years for me this month, diagnosed when I was 6 - only found that out this month as I thought I was 7 lol. Have other auto immune conditions (under active thyroid, ulcerative colitis and inflammatory arthritis) but otherwise good health, and the not unexpected background retinopathy. I'm fortunate I had good care, my old Dr years ago put me on blood pressure tablets and statins to help protect things. My mum on the other hand has been a T1 for 49 years and has really suffered with her eyes in recent years, she also has coronary disease and is undergoing stents next month. [/QUOTE]
