I have had a read of your public profile and you are allmost the same as me.
I had my diagnosis in '77 so 37 years a diabetic.

Hello Peter:

I noticed your nick is Anthill. How did you come across a name like that for yourself??

Do you prefer to be called Anthill or Peter or either?

Yes, you are right about the cells. It's just the immune system that is the big problem now. I think I read somewhere that they still say another 5-10 years before it's all figured out. That would be hard to believe after all this time of having Diabetes.

Ya, you're almost as many years with Diabetes, as I am. How old were you when were you diagnosed?

Well, we are still doing pretty Good considering, eh? When I was 7, I heard my Optometrist tell my Mom that I would be blind by age 19. And of course, other older citizens said I'd have to have my legs amputated and I would be dead by age 35. None of that stuff has happened to me yet(touch wood). It sure wasn't much Fun with those thoughts in the far back of my mind while growing up though. I guess you heard the same remarks from People also.

***Congrats on Your 37th Year With Diabetes***

Terrific!!

Hey, Cool sig that you have there Peter. I haven't put any thought into mine yet. Be Good.
