| |  How Long
Diagnosed as a Type 1 at age 18, 29 years ago. Really scared me then, as my Mom (age 43), Uncle (age 39), sister (age 18) and cousin (age 16) all died from complications of Type 1. So of course I thought I was going to soon. Obviously I didn't.
Been pumping since 1988 (my youngest son-now 19) had just been born (10 pounds 11 oz. 3-weeks early!) Times and treatment have changed drastically-Thank goodness! Staying active and healthy are the biggest key.
