[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2409853, member: 527103"] As i was diagnosed a few years ago, I do not know much about these drugs except that what I have read suggests they may only postpone the final destruction of your insulin producing cells but not halt it. That does not mean your hope should fade. The best advice I was given when diagnosed with Type 1 in my 30s whilst a very active sports person with a low BMI and good diet was "Diabetes should not stop you doing what you want." It hasn't: I am still an active sports person with a low BMI and a good diet. There are professional rugby players such as Henry Slade and Chris Pennel, professional footballers such as Nacho, a whole team of professional cyclists (Team Novo Nordisk). a mountain climber, indy car racer, baseball player, swimmer, .... all doing very well in their sports with Type 1 diabetes. There is a website (runsweet.co.uk) which is dedicated to helping people with Type 1 diabetes and their sport. It is understandable to be, effectively, in mourning when first diagnosed but Type 1 diabetes is not the death sentence it used to be and doesn't need to limit your lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
