I have had type 1 for 45 years and for the first 35 had no problems at all. In the last 10 I have had to have laser treatment and 2 vitrectomy operations on my eyes. These saved my sight. 6 years ago I had a kidney transplant (donated by my Brother..bless him). My control of my blood sugars has never been so good as it is now with the help of Glucose Buddy. So, my point is...I still have a good life but it would have been so much better had I controlled my sugar levels consistently over the years. Keep a close eye on them, John
