[QUOTE="andybee, post: 787836, member: 55950"] This is a truly fascinating thread to me. I've probably averaged a cold once every couple of years throughout my life which to be fair often went to my chest as I was a smoker which would result in a prolonged chesty cough but I was never ill enough to justify time off work. Just over 2 years ago at age 42 I was diagnosed with type 1. Like you I was told to prepare for the worst.....Still waiting; worst I've had is a runny nose and no I haven't taken a flu jab. My continuing 'immunity' seems even more incredible given that I am married to a GP who constantly gets the bugs that she is exposed to and brings them home to the kids - but not me. So here is my point. Could there be a group of type 1's who's over active immune system, proven over years of low illness, got bored and decided to have a go at their pancreas, knackered it and left us with type 1. Any thoughts, similar histories, would love to hear from you. [/QUOTE]
