Could be, a few of us on the T1 stars thread were saying we hated school PE even though we've gone on to be active as adults. I know as a youngster chatting with my mates was preferable to sport.Those figures don't look too good.
I wonder if there is some connection to this, which shows that girls tend to play in a less physically active way than boys

Not been able to find the full paper yet. Just the release. So no idea.Not a T1 or anything but does the study not look at average HbA1c's and CVD too? That would surely be a more interesting avenue to look at and presumably they must have the data?
Here's the study.. haven't read it yet...Not been able to find the full paper yet. Just the release. So no idea.
So in 20 years we might actually get the facts..."Our study had several limitations. We did not have
information about patients’ glycaemic control before
enrolment in the register."
Which kind of explains it.. huge opportunity missed?
As a type 1 my HBA1c has never been normal for most of the 36 years I've had diabetes and I think only about 17% of us even achieve ranges under 7% HBA1c. It would be interesting to see calcium (not just proxy markers for CVD) in cohorts with differing times of exposure and differing average HBA1cs. And also interesting to see if high insulin doses used to achieve lower glycemic load are better than a dietary approach which necessitates less insulin to achieve the same end.Not a T1 or anything but does the study not look at average HbA1c's and CVD too?

I was diagnosed at 10.5 so if average is 84 then 84-18 = 66. 19.5 years to go then!
If those dying younger e.g.66 years were diagnosed in the 1960s then they spent their first diabetic years with only urine testing and animal insulins then endured low fat/high carb diabetes routines that probably did not help their control much and hence cardiovascular health. More insulin and high bgs is a toxic combo.
Boys come out at 79-14 years =65.
Someone 'Give me hope Joanna' !
Although I appear to be "cross dressing" I can't resist making a comment. At the age of 13, having had diabetes for 12 years, I was told that I might make it to 20... in my early 20s I was told by an actuary that I could possibly make it to 40.... In a few days time I shall be 60. I have become increasingly sceptical of statistics as I have crossed these lines. Obviously we all need to look after ourselves to the best of our ability, but I believe these kind of pronouncements can lop yet more off a patient's life if they take such findings literally. It makes me start to think "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!"Uni of Gothenberg suggests women hit harder by T1, age of diagnosis affects cardiovascular risk

And some of us will be past their expectations...So in 20 years we might actually get the facts...
