[QUOTE="MoonSpirit, post: 1824791, member: 137512"] Yes I had the routine one as a child, around the time as I was diagnosed with T1 at 12 I think I’ve had it easy compared to many with T1, I’m now 58 I’ve never followed advise or a strict diet, just eaten what I want and adjusted insulin accordingly, without any serious issues. I’m fat / overweight with high blood pressure but then many people without diabetes at 58 are the same. However over the last few years, despite going onto a Dexcom cgm, control is not so easy as it once was. Which is why I will be going to see my GP and ask for a BCG booster. The way I look at it, I’ve had the vaccine before and so don’t see any reason why a booster would do any harm. I know it’s not a cure but any improvement in helping controll the blood sugars would help. (I’m always one looking for a quick fix/miracle cure) It took the Americans 8 years to do the first small scale test, I’m too impatient to wait another 8 years for them to do a bigger scale test.
