[QUOTE="novorapidboi26, post: 1052391, member: 90156"] I am now 32 and was diagnosed when I was 15, so not long after diagnosis I was into the drink, smoking and didnt really look after myself and also was on a mixed insulin which is completely useless for most people...... I still drink at the weekends and have been known to sneak in a cheeky fag if I am away out without the wife...lol..... I never had any complications up until the last few years where I showed signs of retinopathy....likely due to going from a poor control on a mixed insulin, to reasonable control or a basal/bolus regime overnight... today, on the pump I still struggle to get my HbA1c below 7%.............. So I would say I am in a similar position to you, maybe slightly worse, but I am happy with my health at the moment and I suppose you potentially could be, but are just going through a hopefully short lived stage of insecurity... Hopefully it will pass.....you should live and enjoy each day as it comes, try your best with the blood sugars, and enjoy your family....I am very confident you will/can live a perfectly healthy long life.... whats the complications situation at the minute? you say complication free but has there been any changes to your eyes ever, what is your HbA1c at now?
