[QUOTE="Sucre Bleu, post: 931663, member: 204443"] Hi everyone My name is Noelene, and I am from Australia, mid 50s, and have been a Type 1 for over 45years. My Dad was Type1 for over 70yrs and recently passed away following some rough years w/Alzheimers My brother has MODY. I figure over the years I have seen pretty much everything, Urine in test tubes and a tablet added to check sugars. Dipsticks of course, The first blood testing machines, imagine, if you will, your first mobile phone, the size of a house brick, a little squeezy bottle to flush the blood off the test strip plugging it into the machine and waiting literally minutes and minutes to give you a result Insulin regimes came and went- there was a phase of cramming your daily dose into 1 injection, then multidoses for better control, and the list goes on. The delivery of the insulin was in lovely metal syringes and needles, boiling them up to sterilize, plastic needles, syringes, use a swab, don't use a swab,pens and pumps. I have my handy list of complications , feel free to ask me whatever you would like to know Legally blind and Blonde Recurrent foot Ulcer Neuropathy, Nephropathy Fatty Liver Gastroparesis Emphysemateous Bladder- it is super rare so of course I have it, you name it I have had it and probably forgotten some. But to top it off I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in March ( seems there is a correlation between that and Lantus, depends who you believe.) I had a serious case of burnout, and spent some time ignoring my Diabetes. Never through my child bearing years tho, in fact I had 4 great kids and 1 miscarriage they ranged between 5lb 11oz and 7lb 3 oz, all via Cx Section. I have spent a long time just reading here, and am gobsmacked by the miserly shenanigans of your NHS. I hope I can offer something to the Group. I started out as a Nursing Sister, then felt like a career change and became a psychologist. However in the greatest fail of the century, psychologist heal thyself, I remain as resentful of diabetes as I was at diagnosis, but do take care of myself nowadays [/QUOTE]
