Hello,
New to creating a thread, although I have received the newsletter and been a member for some time.
Today, December 4th, 2014, I celebrate 50 years to the day since I started injections for type 1 diabetes. Entered hospital as a 14 year old boy on December 3rd, 1964, and started the jabs on the 4th. Seems a long time ago, and managed to overcome the problems of diabetes at school, work, and now into retirement. Developed asthma, blood pressure problems, had a large number of teeth removed two weeks ago, and recently diagnosed with a heart murmur, so I have increased the exercise, eating more fruit and vegetables ang generally improved further the healthier lifestyle, in the hope of another 50 years!!!!
