[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 525400, member: 17713"] I was taken to a ward where people had amputations... And told I would get complications. It put the fear of god in to me. That did affect me, i saw people getting awards with living with diabetes for 25 years and in my brain I then thought I would never get to 50. Well, I am now 50 and I still don't actually think I will get to 51...but I go all out nowadays to try and change those thoughts because I havent got any complications at 30 years T1 and I'm still healthy. Its nice to be able to prove people wrong. Be proud Dougal that you out did your 2 year life, and try and think that D is an illness but not a life sentence of doom and gloom. Having D does not make you any less of a person. Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
