[QUOTE="PseudoBob77, post: 1191877, member: 198770"] As your well controlled, with the ocassional bit of slack. I wouldn't worry to much. Mortality always springs to mind now and then, even if not diabetic we'd still ponder on it. I was diagnosed a similar age to you, the month before my 12th birthday. Now I'm 39, no complications really. Last check was one micro aneurysm in my right eye, no other retinopathy in 28 years. I've had my phases when younger. Yes we are more likely to die from CVD, if your well controlled and live a healthier lifestyle it might get you when you reach 80 years old. Check out the Joslin medalists who've lived with it 50-75 years, there's no perfect track record for that entire duration. To lower your cholesterol, exercise more, eat more fruit and veg, and consume less saturated fatty foods. Carb info is always available on almost every food packet you buy, add it up as you go through the day, use an electronic diary on your phone to track it. You're not going to die young from it, panic over. Keep a close watch on it, gather help from the forum, change lifestyle habits, which you seem keen on and that's positive. You'll be fine :) everyone is here to help one way or another. Sent from my SM-G900F using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67]Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
