Not only being type 1 diabetic i also suffer with wolff-parkinson-white syndrome does anyone else have that aswell ?
 
Interesting question, Kathleen. Do you suffer from it, or just have it? Most folk just live with it - Meatloaf and Marilyn Manson are two folk who seem to manage. But if you get persistent episodes of supraventricular tachycardia needing cardioversion, it’s a pest. When I was a junior doctor, one of my colleagues had it, and occasionally we would fight over whose turn it was to zap him, or massage his vagus nerve in the neck. Being a junior doctor, he also smoked and drank! Are you on any medication for it?

Being Type 1 should have no effect whatsoever. Whether anyone on the forum has it is unlikely - around 0.1% of the population have it, so statistically you are likely to be the only one. The other way round would be different; you might well find one or two Type 1s on a WPW forum, because it’s more common.
