[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2197319, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=479570]@jcr0205[/USER] There are many of us on the forum who did not look after ourselves in the early part of our diabetic lives. I won't risk boring many posters who have heard my story many times. What I will say is that I had complications by as early as 13 years old, and that these ultimately led to a kidney/pancreas transplant in 2013, after 54 years of Type 1. I reached the depths of depression at the age of 21 and I am now 61. I have always been an optimist, except in those darkest moments. Please believe me that it is not too late to start looking after yourself - in many ways you have done this by reaching out on this forum. Sharing your despair is more than half the battle.
