[QUOTE="Grant_Vicat, post: 2070941, member: 388932"] Hi [USER=508394]@SamD1994[/USER] and welcome. I completely empathise. In 1979, I had my first laser treatment at the age of nearly 21, after nearly 20 years of Type1. That same year my girlfriend (now my daughter's godmother), dumped me. By 1983, at the age of 25, I had had both eyes lasered more than once. The powers that be at King's College Hospital impressed on me that good stable control was the only way to halt or slow down the problem. I still drive, do portraits, play the organ and only wear reading glasses. I had a pancreas/kidney transplant in 2013 and am well looked after by the NHS. I hope your next 25 years are at least as successful if not better. The best of luck! [/QUOTE]
