I'm 59 had type 1 for 30 years. yes i do have low self esteem. having many 1000s of hypos over the years turns you in to a nervous wreck. you never no when the next ones coming and can never switch of and relax. it does take its toll over the years. am i ok now i better do a bm blood test like i do 7 times a day. tony
