[Cyborg]

I can see how you might have a different outlook, living with diabetes from childhood versus getting it later in life. Maybe some things are more a normal part of life, such as testing and dosing. At the same time, I can see how someone with diabetes since childhood might come to take some things for granted and not be determined to keep tighter control. Burnout might come into play.

With the complications part, I suppose it depends on not only control, but also on how soon you were diagnosed, whether you were misdiagnosed, etc.
