How has type 1 diabetes affected your life? Submit Your Comment

Comment from: Lucky, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: September 10

I've seen my father slowly waste away from every complication possible from type 1 diabetes save for waking up blind. I got type 1 at age 37 and am seeing many symptoms my father had, starting. I'm almost 50 now. Good luck all.
