[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2040587, member: 68789"] 1969 for me and like many at that time there were very few who knew anything about T1. I was at Uni and apart from having some consideration for one of the finals papers when I walked out to treat a hypo, there were no concessions for the year of ill health and struggle that T1 caused. I didn’t have much knowledge myself of how to deal with T1 at the time and only really got to grips with it through trial and error. However, most of my friends wanted to have a go at giving me the jabs, it was a treat for them. I don’t think I’d let any friends do that now! I think I probably survived through a combination of luck and bloody mindedness. I hate to think what my HbA1c was back then but there weren’t any of those done until I was expecting my first daughter in 1978. Life’s easier now with the plethora of insulin choice and cgm but in some ways a lack of constant awareness gave me more courage to have a go at things I’d definitely think twice about now. [/QUOTE]
