I have been diabetic for over 30 years and the only other type 1 diabetic I have ever met is my own sister. (I've met plenty of type 2 diabetics, including my brother and my other sister. But no type 1's) They say that only about 5% of the diabetics in America are type 1. So I just thought I would say Hi to some of the other type 1 diabetics out there.

Hello to you...from another type 1. I was diagnosed at age 26 (unusual, I know but it does happen). I use an insulin pump.

You're right...among diabetics, roughly 5-10% are type 1. The vast majority are type 2.

Yeah, I'm almost 20 and have been type I since I was 8 and pumping since I was 10.
Any complications after 30 years?? That is incredible.
