I’ve been a type 1 for almost 53 years. I was 9. Unfortunately, I have suffered a lot of complications. Me and my wife always laugh when I am driving down the street, and somebody will cut me off. I’ll say “whatsa matter, you blind?” "Oops, I am!"
I have a lot of circulation problems too.
Like you, I remember the old days when I only had to take one shot a day. I remember testing my urine in a test tube with a tablet.
My mom used to give my shot and measure out my food. Bless her heart.
I am now on a Ping pump since last November. Why did I ever wait? I dunno.
My children and grandchildren are all diabetes free, and I hope it stays that way.
