[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2022798, member: 372717"] I've been T1 since I was 8, and I'm 58 now. I had terrible control in my teens (it was pre glucometers so I don't know exactly how bad it was but I used to get incredibly thirsty) but got my act together (mostly) in my early twenties and am still living life to the full now (travel. walking etc etc). No diabetic complications other than on again off again diabetic retinopathy. I'm hoping for another 20 years of good health, bar random non-diabetic stuff like cancer which no one can predict. Get on to your diabetic team. There's no reason why you shouldn't do PE (unless you want to get out of it, I hated PE so would have loved that). Maybe push for a pump and/or a libre. Good luck. Your chances of being an astronaut are zero, and I believe the military is out, but there's little else you can't do as a diabetic. Go for it! [/QUOTE]
