[QUOTE="simon hand, post: 7223, member: 6833"] Just a quick hello to everyone. I have just come across the site and it is great to hear from other people with Diabetes. My name is Simon, I'm 37 married with two wonderful daughters. I was diagnosed at 21 with type 1 diabetes and at the time it seemed like it was the end of the world. It might seem like an over the top statement, but I'm sure some of you out there know what I mean. I have grown up with diabetes in the family, my dad has been a diabetic from the age of 5. I can always remember him having to boil his glass syringes and needles to sterilise them. Just show's you that diabetic research has come along way. He's nearly 70 now and believe it or not, he has had no complications. Just through a very strict diet and he is still going strong. I've let slip my control over the last couple of years, and I'm getting a few problems, I will be going for a course of laser eye treatment in the next couple of weeks. My main worry, is not just my own problems, but my two daughters, later on in life, being diagnosed. Anyway, great to read some of your comments. Chat again Simon :) [/QUOTE]
