Hello all,
I was diagnosed type 1 at age 6.
I am now 32 with a wife and beautiful baby girl.
I am really depressed and worried about my past however....
In my 20's for about 10 years, I smoked, drank, and didn't check my sugars. I was in total denial. As of today I'm complication free and trying to get my AIC to 7, but I'm afraid the damage has already been done and I will be a burden on my family and won't live to see my daughter grow up.
I've waited for a cure my whole life to no end, and I really question if it will happen in my lifetime.
Does anyone have a similar experience that came out on top?
I need some positivity because the Internet is a dark, negative thing sometimes. Im really depressed....
