[QUOTE="Happy2bepart, post: 1788185, member: 429339"] Yes I became diabetic type 1 when In was 11, now 54 years ago. Many memories of the auto-injecting device...It was metal and quite often broke the glass syringes we used then. Then insulin was zinc based, so caused nasty lumps of you injected it in the same place for more than a couple of times. I do find sighting my injections still a problem, as the absorption can vary so much. Even when I used the pump system, it could still be difficult. Not keen on pumps because of the leads.from the pump to the insertion sight. They always get caught in something. Can't get the cellnover devices on the NHS in Dorset, not can we get the Freestyle Libre glucose monitoring devices get either. No help to help yourself. [/QUOTE]
