[QUOTE="cp1943, post: 408996, member: 45768"] I'm new to the site (as a contributor, though I read anything I find interesting) and probably not on the right forum, so I thought I should also introduce myself: I'm type one, diagnosed 51 years ago, no complications so far, for which I am very grateful as good control was practically impossible 50 years ago (and I still have my blips: I'm only human), no blood sugar meters, glass syringes etc. I have two children and worked, travelled etc. so I don't think I am different from anyone else. I realise I am lucky in that respect and not everyone has been. I feel for anyone who is newly diagnosed but would encourage them to be positive, including Ms May, though I doubt if she is listening. I am shocked that the NHS has deteriorated so much (or am I being unfair?) since I left England at the beginning of the seventies. When I was first diagnosed I spent 2 weeks in hospital, injecting oranges as practice, and actually learnt quite a lot there, though treatment was pretty primitive, unpure insulin etc. Anyhow I survived. I am surprised that Ms May was only having 2 injections a day, or was it from 2 injections (personally I generally have five, though it was only one when I started). The number is actually irrelevant with the pens that are in use now. [/QUOTE]
