[QUOTE="SweetSophia, post: 1910552, member: 434326"] I was diagnosed about a year-year and a half ago with t1d. I was very optimistic about having good control of my diabetes, I thought that when I get the analogues (I was on regular insulin in the beginning) my control is going to be better than those 7.something a1c-s. Instead, some bad things had happened and I wound up with this: 6 months of a1c 7-7.5, next 3 months a1c 8.0, next 3 months 7.2, and then 2 months of ok bg control and then last 2 months were terrible, I'll have a blood test soon and I expect my a1c to be over 8-8.5. I wonder is there anyone here who had this kind of diabetes control and lived with t1d for 20+ years and still managed not to go blind or to have a kidney failure or something? I understand that I can't change things that already happened, but I'd like to know what's coming. If I'm going to have retinopathy in 10 years then maybe I'd like to get pregnant in 5 years and if I'm going to be healthy then maybe I'd like to postpone that pregnancy. I was diagnosed in DKA, with a1c of 10-11 and I felt awful during that pre-diagnosis period. I also felt awful during that third trimester after diagnosis and during last 2 months and it's really hard for me to believe that my organs haven't been damaged in some way. [/QUOTE]
