Hi I am a 35 year old type 1 diabetic and have been since I was 3 years old....
My reason for writing this is because I have had such severe complications from being diabetic and not looking after myself when I was a teenager...
At the age of 35 I am partially sighted, I have heart failure and I have CKD ( chronic kidney disease)
I had a 4 x heart bypass in June 2015 and have now been diagnosed with kidney failure and I have dialysis 7 days a week 6 hours a night...
I am writing this as I never took notice of doctors when I was younger and because of that I am now suffering.
Just please make sure that you look after yourselves and do things by the book.
I wouldn't want anyone to have to have gone through what I have through my neglect of diabetes 15 years ago...
