Quick question .. how do you think you would manage your Type 1 diabetes if there was ...
No personal blood sugar meters
Only urine tests to control blood sugar
No insulin pens
No Bolus Basel regime
No insulin pumps
No internet
Eat to amount of insulin you take rather than other way around
No carb content on food labels
Well I suppose the answer maybe .....poorly , or ....it would be difficult
All of the above is how many long term type 1 diabetics had to try and control their diabetes, without and with these things ,and you know what many of them/ us are still here 30 ! 40! 50, years on and more ,
I’m not writing this for people to feel sorry for us , but to give people who are newly diagnosed hope , to realise that because you have been diagnosed with diabetes , doesn’t mean that you leading a long life isn’t possible,
Technological advancements have made that totally possible.
