I've had TI diabetes for over 35 year, now close to 50. Recently, I did a test to determine my 'physical age', and it came up as 21.
I am sure this is because of always following a strict diet and exercise regime (to keep control over the diabetes). Because of following the diet for many years, even the thought of junk food is repulsive to me. I don't miss it, dessert, pizza and confectionary- really can't understand how any could eat that crap. I also have regular hypos- an inconvenience, to be sure; but one of the effect of hypo's is a huge boost in HGH, which has an anti-aging effect.
When I compare my present condition to most people of my age, I am sure that I am actually much, much healthier because I developed TI as a teenager. Does anyone else feel healthier, in the long term, for having TI?
