[QUOTE="_dr__rossco_, post: 2192261, member: 425451"] I can remember having to buy disposable syringes pack of 10 cost £1.10 and a box of 100 medi swabs and having to go to toilets if you were in a pub/restaurant to do your injection as you had to use the 2 viles of insulin had also forgot about the blue plastic sleeve with spring inside to keep glass syringe and that needle what can you say it was massive but 40 years later still here and when I meet guys that I went to school with I actually in better condition than they are. As people said in previous comments about checking urine I have to be honest for many years I didn't bother much checking urine but my BS levels when going for check ups were always good and since finger pricking started my levels have always been between 6 & 7. What helped me was playing football and going to gym 2 or 3 times a week. But definitely glad for all the newly diagnosed that things have come a long way since then and they can live a healthy life and do what they want in life being diabetic shouldn't stop you from doing and achieving anything in life [/QUOTE]
