Hi there!
I have been a T1 diabetic for 27 years now, diagnosed just before my 20th birthday. I havent had any major problems but as I am getting older some neoropathy and joint problems are starting to emerge. I don't have a great deal of contact with my doctor and have no real confidence with the diabetic nurses at the practice so I pretty much self manage and seem to do OK, last HBa1C was 6.4. I attended a Dafne clinic last year which I found very very useful. It was also nice just to be able to meet up with fellow T1's and share our experiences, kind of helped get things in perspective a bit, hence the reason for joining the forum.
Thats it for now - see you online
