[QUOTE="himtoo, post: 875422, member: 142835"] don't know how i haven't stumbled on to this thread before............ great inspiration :) been type 1 since august 1972 so coming up 43 years shortly. ( am 57 ) I have had some issues overs the years but its funny that some of them they don't really tell you that it is because of the diabetes until you start having the trouble frozen shoulder , duyputrens contracture , necrobiosis lipoidica to name 3 i have taken BP and cholesterol meds for about 18 years so am reasonably well controlled there and I started MDI by myself after I read about it happening in germany. had a bit of laser in 2002 and 2012 for minor bleeds and a few ( 3 ) lucentis injections in 2013 for a macular edema close to my central vision in 2013. as I am such a positive person I think I am doing remarkably well all things considered I do test religiously and eat a lot of green veg and have managed to keep my A1c's below 6.5% for many many years now [/QUOTE]
