I think I'm just paranoid? Not sure.

Hi, my name is Gabriela and I have been a type one diabetic since the age of 3 years. I am now 16, close to 17 and have lived a normal life so far.
I did have a phase for about a fornight were something happend with another student from my school which made me completely turn against my diabetese and as a result I put myself in hospital with something called 'DKA' from which I recall.
That was around the age of 13.
Ever since then and before I have taken great care of myself, I don't know what there called but when you go to the diabetese clinic (of which I go to every 3 months) and you get a rating, mine has never been above 8.8 or below 5.9! Proud of myself yes, but for the past 4 years (of which would have marked me down as long term diabetese) I have been getting letters from the clinic asking for a second urine sample to check for 'microalbuminuria'. Since this year, I did not panic, as I never read any of the letters untill just before the christmas of 2010. They did not see anything in the urine sample, and they only test for albuminuria once a year.
Ever since then, I have been panicing about everything to do with me.
To the point were I panic if my finger clicks, and my head leads it to something being wrong with diabetese.
I eat properly, I eat a various amount of fruit, vegetables and meats. Also calcium products.
I do not drink any form of energy drinks, to avoid the risk of drinking torine.
I have never smoked, taken drugs or accessivly drank before in my whole life. And I dont plan on smoking or taking drugs or drinking alot when I'm older anyway.
I've also heard rumours that people don't live after 30 years of having diabetese.
I'm just scared that I won't be able to grow up, have a family and get married, and succeed in my ambitions on being a photographer or graphic designer. Also, I've met the greatest human being in my point of view of whom I love so much. Yes I may be sixteen, but I'm not stupid to throw something like this away from pananoia of diabetese.
Just please someone help me with this, I don't want to be sat worrying for no reason!
Thankyouu, from Gabriela. :)

I have known aged type I diabetics. And, yes, they married and had children. It is a question of taking good care of yourself and seeing your doctor regularly. Also take vitamins to protect your eyes. They would be lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin A and bilberry.
