[QUOTE="Top_Barman, post: 1085383, member: 272416"] Hi AmyLH. I was diagnosed Type 1 when I was almost 7, 36 years ago. First few years I was well controlled, but when I went to Uni at 18, all control went out the window. My HbA1c was regularly in the 90's, and I didn't give a **** about my control, avoided doctors, and basically gave up on myself. This all changed 2 years ago when I was diagnosed with a Charcot Arthropathy. While recovering from this (It's fine at the moment) I did a DAFNE course. This gave me a recap on what I should be doing to control my Diabetes, and not let it control me. My HbA1c is now around 65, still too high, but coming down nicely. I feel healthier, and feel like I am in control of my life again. Joining the forum is a great step, lots of advice on here, but try and get on a DAFNE course, They are great. Good Luck, Richard [/QUOTE]
