For me it’s been 56 years now. I took my first insulin shot on February 1st, 1955. I could write volumes on the changes I’ve seen, but I just recently got together with about 100 or so Type 1’s who have had it for 50 years or more. Met a gentleman who has lived with it for 84 years (he’s the 2nd longest) and is now 88 years old. I believe the record is 85 or 86 years long by a man out in CA. We are all (those with it for 50 years or more) Medalists (and have received Bronze Medals from Joslin)and involved in a study being conducted by the Joslin Clinic in Boston, MA to see exactly why we have lived so long, with fewer complications (note I didn’t say none) than many others. Some interesting things are coming out of this study…
10 1/2 years now, diagnosed shortly after turning 16
By the time August comes, I will have diabetes for 11 months. Wow! That’s almost ONE YEAR!!! I can’t believe how fast time has gone by!
