I wish I did. I was four when I was diagnosed with Type 1, and my mom and dad gave me shots. I remember crying sometimes. I remember hoping they'd forget. I don't know what my mom did to make it...

I agree! Test, test, test and take insulin according to your doctor's prescription to cover the carbs and any high numbers. You can do it! I've had T1 for almost 49 years.

It does get easier and the diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence. I've had type 1 for almost 49 years and have always been on insulin. I have none of the bad things that often go with it. ...

Adding my prayers for your daughter. It is not a death sentence! I was diagnosed at 4, and I'm 52 now with NO effects of diabetes. I work and I'm active. My advice is to know the glucose numbers....

I don't know what's going on. I test before I get in the car, and I always always have snack bars and/or glucose tablets within arm's reach when I'm driving. Maybe you're taking too much insulin to...

Hi! I'm a T1, but I still use manual injections. I don't know if my skin could handle the 24-hour needles for the pumps. I've had T1 for about 48 years. I'd love to hear what kind of pump you use...

Hi! I've had T1 since 1966, no problems. I've been slipping more and more, too, but that sometimes makes me really focus and get back on track. It's not easy, is it?!

48 years T1

I was diagnosed at age 4, which is 48 years ago. I've been on insulin my entire life. I have no complications at all and consider myself very, very blessed.

Hi, Kelly. I've been a T1 for 48 years now. I'm just saying that so you know there is hope! I think the key is testing and not fearing seeing a high number. Sure, that's not good. But don't...
