[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1828090"] I have had this nearly all my life, I was diagnosed when 18mths old and that was 1965, like others can't really compare to an old life. The only thing this has stopped me doing is being an RAF pilot, then again in another life on another planet I will be flying a space ship :D Type 1 is a major PITA to be honest and yes I hypo (much prefer that to being hyper, but that is just me) but then again it really does not stop me from doing anything else and eat many things that would send many flying in to a major "tut tut tut you can't do that...." but frankly I don't care, life is to short. Then again I don't hide my diabetese. I will happily sit in resurants, pubs infact anywhere, test bloods (now Libre), sitck insuling pens, or in the past syringes etc in me. People sometimes look in horror, but I look back and smile, usually makes them think again and if anyone asks then I will happily talk to them about it. One favorite is "I have gentic muation, bit like an X-Men but can't fly :D" Even after all this time, I sometimes get things wrong. Having reread this it completly misses the orginal question sorry [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER] :) [/QUOTE]
