Hi @SukritiShukla and welcome I the forum. I’m not sure what you’re asking but if you are wondering about longevity with diabetes I’ve had it for 63 years and am doing well - and some members here have had it even longer! I’ve been on a pump for over 30 - actually close to 40 now that I think about it​😱 - how time flies! Looking forward to your contributions.

hello @SukritiShukla welcome to our self-help forum. my favorite doctor said “if you control your blood sugar, you will live a life just like everyone else”. I’ve had type 1 for 47 years, some members just like Dorie have had T1 many more years.

How is your blood sugar control? are you happy with it?
