Welcome to the list. I'm 29 (turning 30 in two months, yikes!) and have

had Type 1 for 20 years, since age 9 (in 1991).

I live in BC, Canada and use an insulin pump to manage my diabetes.

Hope you enjoy the list!

Dave,

I hated the time my eyes were going through the bleeding. It seemed

that things would start to become stable and then more blood would show up.

I did have some of the laser treatments while working at the nursing

facility and the doctor's doing the laser and the surgery's, continually

warned against heavy lifting. I did do what they advised, but there was

still a lot of vessels that opened.

Very similar to my experience. I lost my sight in one eye a year before

losing it in the other. I had a total of 5 surgical procedures on my eyes,

and I forget how many laser treatments. It took a total of 2 years. This was

in the late 80s, when much of this was barely out of the infancy stage I

think.

Hello,

My name is Childs. I have Type 1 diabetes and I am totally blind.

I have been diabetic since October 1979. I had a kidney transplant and a

pancreas transplant, the kidney in 1995 and the pancreas in 1996. My kidney

is still going strong, but the pancreas stopped working in 2000.

I am glad to be a member of this group and look forward to a lot of

great information.
