Well done Vic

I would imagine there have been so many changes in

Needle sizes. and types
testing your blood
insulin types


I was diagnosed 26 years ago when I believe insulin pens were just starting to replace syringes where you had to draw the insulin from bottles

yes banana s are good until you look at the carbs 20--25 grams but as everybody on this site knows we all import imp on nearly every aspects of the lack of insulin food insulin sleeping walking every one of use are total total different and CAN NOT BE PUT IN BOXES by any company so we have to sort us and only us out good luck vic

You got me beat - I was diagnosed in 1966 - haven't experienced any complications as of yet - keep my fingers crossed - nice to see someone on the forum that has been living with Type 1 longer than I have - All the Best! And it was fun testing urine to see if your kidneys were spilling sugar - when you dropped that tablet in the test tube and the chemical reaction took place it was like doing a mad experiment - it was a big hit for my non diabetic friends LOL

Snap.......there's loads of us about all well and not dead in our coffins. My brother thought it very entertaining watching my urine fizz up in a test tube and change colour. I was glad when Gillette did 5/8 in disposable luer needles so that I didn't have to re use the steel needles with my Rocket syringe.
