  Background (mild non-proliferative) retinopathy, stable x decades. I had protein in urine in 1981 when I first started doing fingersticks and had horrible control at baseline, but not for decades w A1c below 7 and good blood pressure control, <120/70 usually on an ARB agent. (ARB's are kidney protective). Have had trigger fingers, frozen shoulder as well.

  Mild non-proliferative retinopathy, diagnosed at 10 years post T1D diagnosis, has not progressed and may be improving as I improve my A1c/TIR.

  Only 1 long term one... diabetic dermopathy, the translucent red scaly circular spots on my lower legs. Had them since as I approached puberty. Diagnosed at age 6. Recently developed hypothyroidism, but not sure it's related to T1D. I've had extremely high stress levels the last 3 years. Caregiving a terminal family member has meant unpredictable schedules and Lee than perfect meals also.

  Eyes! Have already had multiple laser treatments, leading, eventually to surgery for Diabetic Retinopathy in one eye only (so far). Have had multiple eye injections over the past 7+ years for Diabetic Macular Edema. Otherwise, I have not developed any other complications over the past 46 years of having T1D.

  I have heart disease, retinopathy, neuropathy, hypothyroidism, arthritis and a few other minor things. I’ve been a diabetic almost 50 years but feel pretty good overall.

  I should have read other comments first as I do have other things go wrong too. I have hypothyroidism, and have had frozen shoulder and trigger finger also. However, I had an extremely physical job and other co-workers got hand and shoulder problems too. So was the shoulder and finger problem diabetes-related? Could be. My trigger-finger got fixed with surgery. The frozen shoulder mended itself after about 2-3 years.

  I know. It is sometimes impossible to say if something would have happened anyways or if diabetes caused it.

  Never even thought about that as a complication.

  I have a slight case of tingling in my feet. So slight that most of the time I really have to think about it to feel it. The feeling has not gotten any worse in decades. Being 50 years diabetic, I feel very lucky to not have anything worse.

  Unsure. I have other autoimmune issues but some were before T1 diagnosis and stand on their own. Noticed drier skin and dry mouth and dry eyes.

  35 years and no complications so far. Some people count hypo unawareness as a complication but I don't really consider that to be one.

  Unclear…. Went to several doctors recently and they radically contradicted themselves on multiple diagnoses. So I cannot say with any certainty

  We have similar situations. If you were not aware: People with T1D are at much higher risk to have epilepsy than the general population. Pubmed.gov is a good place to see the current hypotheses. It is now attributed to the anti-GAD antibodies that both kill off cells in the pancreas and interfere with the creation of GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter.
