Happy, happy Birthday!! I am 60, with 53 1/2 years with diabetes. As others have said, I did not expect to live this long - that wasn’t what was expected at that time of diagnosis. And yet here we are. Congratulations. And keep on celebrating!

Love the fact that the doctor included exercise in that list. I reckon it’s one of the most under prescribed things for tackling diabetes. What an awsesome list of things that doc said!

Well done, so glad you made it long enough to find us here at TuD.
Welcome and please do not hesitate to post any questions you may have on the forum.
Congrats to all the “older” people. I am 68, got T1 30+ years ago. Now waiting on my first pump. A little loss of feeling in my toes, otherwise still going strong. T1 is difficult to manage - the rewards of good management are things we all take for granted - life just goes on as normal. T1 only lets you know when things are not going well, so it is unlike many disorders where there is a “reward” (feeling better) for treatment/good management. But it is worth persisting!
