Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="librarising" data-source="post: 1686187" data-attributes="member: 41957">Please read the following :<a href="https://report.nih.gov/NIHfactsheets/ViewFactSheet.aspx?csid=120" target="_blank">https://report.nih.gov/NIHfactsheets/ViewFactSheet.aspx?csid=120</a>The number dying from T1D within 25 years of diagnosis has fallen from 33% in the 1950 to 7% now. Many still cling on to that notion of T1D being somewhat of a death sentence.What makes the difference between those who make up the statistics and those who survive ?Other co-morbidities apart I would say CONTROL.Sadly some diabetics of whatever type never aim for or achieve good control. A forum such as this helps make that control possible.It sounds like you're talking to the wrong people, even if they're medically trained. They obviously have a duty to warn you of the possible consequences (the equivalent of signing a consent form for an operation).And what rules are you rejecting ?It will help you if you can find a way of having a meaningful dialogue with those on this forum who spend their lives at the 'coalface' of T1D.Geoff</blockquote>
