[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 2068464, member: 432241"] I was diagnosed at 43 and the nurse said to me that with decent control it should have a minimal impact because any damage to my organs will happen late on in life. My only concern with that is I have huge swings in BG which aren't reflected in my.hba1c BUT - i was on a trial for newly dx T1 and the consultant did say that some people win or lose in the T1 genetic lottery. He's known people live into their 80s with pretty ropey control (they didn't have the tools for most of their lives) & others who have suffered with eye and other problems within just a few years of dx.
