[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1052045, member: 11028"] [USER=266396]@Bradtimes7[/USER], focus on the future and not on the past, the past can't be undone but you can change the future. Your taking good steps now by reducing your HbA1c and by focussing more on your lifestyle, a cure may be years away and may never come so we have to make the best of what we have now, provided you continue to take care of yourself there's no reason why you won't see your children grow-up. On a personal note I was the same in my late teens/early 20's, didn't have the means to test bg as we do today so often didn't bother but always took my injections, but like you I drank far too much and didn't look after my diabetes very well, I ended up with diabetic retinopathy as a consequence but have been all clear now for the last 12 years and fortunately have no other complications, I've lived with type 1 for 34 years.
