Hi I'm a recently diagnosed 28 year old female type 1. They told me I don't fit any real bill and I was called into a&e with the worst DKA the hospital had seen without symptoms....5 days later I'm out and have been told they need to treat me as a type 1 ...their understanding of what happened to my pancreas doesn't matter as it's shut down either way.
I've googled everything...from health complications to life expectancy and
I'm having real problems with the idea I'm going to lose 12 years of my life?! Recently married and really trying not to let the diagnosis affect my mental health. Any help with the whole mortality side of it?
Are eye and kidney problems a 100% given or can I avoid these things?

Stop worrying. If your diabetes prompts you to lead a healthy life with good diet and lots of exercise, you will live a lot longer than all those overweight, lazy people who refuse to change their lifestyles. I've never felt better than in the last 2 years since I was diagnosed and I fully intend to live to a ripe old age. Stop worrying and enjoy life.Hi I'm a recently diagnosed 28 year old female type 1.

Oh WOWoverweight, lazy people who refuse to change their lifestyles.
One of the advantages of any chronic condition is that you are under the clinical spotlight. At least 25 years ago I was working for an organ building firm. One day at tea break the manager said to me "You'll probably outlive us all, since you are constantly monitored". I'd like to prove him right!Stop worrying.
