Message: <blockquote data-quote="barbarapreston" data-source="post: 2679613" data-attributes="member: 60691">I don't post often but thought I would share this with you all.Last Thursday the 8th of  February was 70 years since I was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus ( as it was then called ),I was 10 years old. Its been some journey but I managed,more by good luck than good management.I started out with one injection a day ,followed by two and then five for the last 25 years,recently reduced to four.I did all my injections myself from the start and reckon I'm in the region of 73000.Its a wonder I don't leak !My medal arrived this morning, quite a lot bigger than the 50 and 60 year medals.A new 80 year medal has now been introduced,some thing to aim for.I have been very lucky,I still have all my digits,sight is good,kidneys work,no neuropathy  and was fitted with a pacemaker last Autumn.We should all control our diabetes and not let it control us.</blockquote>
