I am 41 and have type 1 diabetes for 39 years (most of my family believes that I have had it all my life, tho). I was on shots until about 4 years ago. At that point, I was up to 4-6 shots a day!! I have been on an insulin pump for 4 years now and have the best control I have ever had in my life!

I'm a type 2 and have been '69. (Agent Orange defoliant caused.) I take Metformin twice a day. I am careful (usually) with what I eat and get exercise.
Watch what you eat, exercise and loose weight if you need to.
I am almost 58, male and have been diabetic for over twice as long as you've been alive.
How long have you been diabetic?

44 now 30 years taking shots the most important thing is to check your bloodsugar often hope it goes well, i have many more thoughts on this, but will not comment now. The care is so much better now, hold on as best you can a cure might happen in your lifetime.
