[QUOTE="C_Wilson_14, post: 2042273, member: 249066"] Diagnosed in 1968, aged 9, stayed in hospital for 2 weeks, came out on one injection a day, but by summer the next year, I had a nasty appendicitis operation which got infected. But this led me to meeting a young boy who came in with sugar diabetes, 2 years younger than me, he went on to have his appendix out & then got yellow jaundice, he stayed in for 6 weeks, I also developed yellow jaundice & ended up staying 7 weeks & 4 days!! Came out doing my own injections, after practising on those oranges. My uncle who was also a type 1, lived next door to us. My brother hated having a secret sweet without me, but was so grateful when I went onto mdi a number of years ago, so I could if I wanted, have a treat. My primary school, were good & gave me a slightly different lunch to every one else, but there were no nasty comments, because of this. Secondary school became packed lunches. An Easter egg was the cardboard ones you can still buy today & a small gift was put inside. How times have changed. [/QUOTE]
