[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2167680, member: 140811"] Hi [USER=516788]@Emertype1[/USER] , Welcome to the forums. I'll start by endorsing what the [USER=47983]@therower[/USER] has already written above. All I would add is that taking good care of yourself and watching those darned glucose levels stacks the odds massively in your favour. Although I don't think it's possible to give cast iron guarantees with this condition we have some people here who have been living with diabetes well into their 80's without complications. Much of the doomsday predictions for our diabetic outcomes are steeped in history and in all honesty it wasn't too long ago that it would have been true. Personal glucose testing meters haven't been around that long in the general scheme of things but they have made a massive difference to blood glucose monitoring. So take a deep breath, read up and inform yourself. Being here, is a great start too! (But then I would say that wouldn't I.) [/QUOTE]
