[QUOTE="buckmr2, post: 1787372, member: 39701"] Hi all Type 1 for almost 46 years coming up 50 next month No complications and eat and drink what I want when I want Lost control for a while when I lost over 10st in 6 months due to increased insulin sensitivity. I remember before blood sugar testing having a test tube ,dropper and tablets. Had to drop 2 drops of urine with 10 drops of water into a test tube and add the tablet.When the fizzing subsided your sugar level would be high if the contents of the test tube was yellowy/orange, good if green and low if blue (IIR).Times have certainly come on a long way since then as now found out I don't have to use a javelin of a needle to inject and have started a 3 month trial of the Freestyle Libre trial where I'll look at my watch (in a few days) or scan with my andoid phone to see my BG. Currently thinking of switching to a pump after speaking to my diabetologist. I reckon I must have had around 90000 injections over approx 40 years. Glad someone told me about smaller needles!
