[QUOTE="Libby1726, post: 1075466, member: 265754"] I was diagnosed when I was 11 in 1963. 53 years later I can still remember, being thirsty all the time, hiding bottles of water in my bedroom to drink through the night. Losing weight Mum thought it was puberty. I was admitted to hospital for test where I stayed for 2 weeks. I was taught to inject using a orange. Mum had to inject a nurse. I was sent home with a glass syringe and needles. Which we had to boil every day. I had wee into a test tube drop a tablet in and wait to see what colour it went. On a very plus side. My children were born in 1975 & 76. I was very well looked after being admitted at 32 weeks. Giving birth at 38 weeks. Phew, I need to write a book!! [/QUOTE]
