Hello Pavalina, welcome! I agree that diabetes is not a gentile disease, but it can be controlled and a long , healthy life can be had with type 1. I was diagnosed in 1945, when I was 6, and I am very healthy. Ask all the questions you want, we want to help.

Welcome aboard, Pavalina! We greatly enjoy having new friends coming in & I hope you'll be visiting often. You have much to teach some of us who are newer to the diabetes wars. (and whoever says it's a "kind gentle disease" needs to have their head examined! )

:welcome:
