[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 739622, member: 30007"] I'm 39 and have been T1 for 26+ years now. Very minor background retinopathy, which comes and goes, but has never been anything more than that, and fingers crossed, no other complications. I've travelled, participated in life and plan to continue to do so. It's not straight forward and you do need to work at it, but I wouldn't say that I was suffering particularly from illnesses or degradation of life particularly. I have had maybe 5 days off work ill in the last four years, so I can't say I've really noticed that I have any worse symptoms now than ten or twenty years ago. [/QUOTE]
