[QUOTE="Lynne C, post: 194589, member: 27355"] Hi I am now 64 and have been a Type 1 diabetic for 31 years. I'm fit, run a few miles 3 or 4 times a week, walk lots, do pilates and am fitter than people 20 years younger. If diabetics lose 20 years off their lives I wouldn't still be here! I retired a year ago and am busy doing stuff all the time. I am well controlled, my HbA1C is 6.3 and I do watch what I eat etc, so I plan to live to 80 at least! Love your life and enjoy it, no-one knows how long they have, it's in the lap of the Gods. Remember about statistics and **** lies! Lynne [/QUOTE]
