[QUOTE="Rusko, post: 2720837, member: 591474"] Absolutely fascinating what everyone above has said. I’m 54 type 1 since 9yoa. Was excellent at school (until similar to other comments- parts and traits of all the above ADHD type tendencies proved difficult to manage and work with) Amazing how we’ve all ‘struggled with similar’ although I would not see myself as fully ADHD - but have certain mirrored tendencies. Over my career (& married life ) have found listening and taking in conversations and info very difficult and at times problematic. Anyway the point of the message - work with any of the above - not against it. I’ve ensured diabetes hasn’t stopped me eating what I’d like to eat, stopped me doing things - played many sports, cycled UK to Paris numerous occasions, and done regular 100 mile+ biking trips. Long term blood/glucose result this week 6.1 Now with Libre etc it has been life changing and ground breaking in so many ways and identifying traits. The only thing I’d waffingly try and sayin this message overall is don’t let anyone tell you their Diabetes/ADHD is a reason they cannot do something. Find a way they can work with it, rather than a way that they can’t. …. And thank you all for the messages - amazing how many of us long term 50 somethings (& others) are realising we’ve all been travelling in a similar direction unknowingly. Maybe some of the agencies can really open some doors and insights for others (& us) moving forward with a bit of research into these fairly clear patterns. [/QUOTE]
