[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2040552, member: 101136"] Hi [USER=503491]@Emirp[/USER] , Love yer post! Summer of 1976 for me. Diagnosed after being driven like the "Sweeny" by my dad after a visit to the GP. Then rushed are on da kiddy ward & given a bed on the spot. It was my 8th birthday. After about a week in hospital, I was out & injecting myself. September term came round & the "care package" was in a sachel of an 8 year old.. I was the only D in the village. Until a chance meeting at a fair on our local rec with a guy in his early 20s a couple of years later? who it also turned out in conversation with my mum was T1. Actually his girlfriend blurted it out.. My mum took one look at the pint he was nursing from the bar tent. & enquired, "should you be drinking that?" He visibly shrunk & I winced at the comment.. There were other diabetics I saw waiting at the appointments. But back in the day. It felt more like going to a "rehab" than anything.. At this point I was walking out the appointments thinking I may as well stollen a car..? I'll tag in [USER=503998]@Knikki[/USER] , he's been at it longer I believe. & [USER=468714]@kitedoc[/USER] from Australia. [USER=142835]@himtoo[/USER] has some years behind him too. [/QUOTE]
