Meme posted this on FB, and I'm stealing it to post here, lol. (Thanks meme!) Thought it was interesting -- they found death rates due to complications of T1 falling, but still higher in women than men. It also looked at people diagnosed in the 60's vs. the 70's. A lot of us were diagnosed later, so it probably even better news for many here!

I was diagnosed in the 1940s and told by two doctors in the 1970s that I would probably not live beyond my 40s. Now I am 71, type 1 for 65 years, and still going strong.

I saw this in the new issue of Diabetes Forcast .
