- I have been Type 1 diabetic for over 18 years now. There have been many ups and downs and it has taken a while to get to where I am today - definitely not perfect but much more knowledgeable and less frustrated about dealing with this illness. I recently wrote and self-published a book about my experiences entitled "Life After Death...of a Pancreas: A True Story of Living with Type 1 Diabetes". If you would like more information about the book or would just like to chat about diabetes please contact me. Would love to hear from other diabetics.
