All the current guidelines have become somewhat blurred overtime, but what appears to be the general consensus is that if you have good control ( an HbA1C below 78 ) and have no other underlying conditions then your risk is not greater than others in your age group without diabetes or other conditions.I personally believe that T1, if we maintain relatively good control makes us healthier than a lot of people out there.Only you know how well you control your diabetes and how other illnesses impact on you in general. If things like colds or the flu really impact hard on you then taking more precautions may be advisable.</blockquote>
