[QUOTE="Lazell123, post: 2627698, member: 155309"] Well done Robert. You do have to apply for medals and you need proof from your doctor. Reading your story brought back many memories and brought tears to my eyes. I was diagnosed on 30 July 1961 (my Mum's 35th birthday). I was 3 years old. I got a medal in 2011 for 50 years with type 1, and another one in 2021 for 60 years with type 1. Like you, I have to thank my wonderful parents for looking after me and teaching me how to look after myself. I wish so much they were still here to see my Libre 2 - they wouldn't believe it. How far our treatment has come since the 1960's. Carry on taking good care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
