[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1719591, member: 365308"] I was pretty excited at the age of 10.5 to get 2 weeks off school staying in a children's ward. Counting 'lines' and injecting oranges (parents had to do this though no idea why...). Still in the era of urine testing and diabetics not expected to live more than 25 years post diagnosis so my parents may have been terrified (although no Dr Google in 1981 so perhaps not..). It has been up and down for 36+ years since and as my 3 kids approach the same life stage I do watch and think about how bad I'd feel if any of them got type 1. Roll on transplanted beta cells or, more likely, the artificial pancreas! [/QUOTE]
