[QUOTE="phoenixlyn, post: 2016376, member: 39713"] 64 years old, diabetic type 1 since 1970, so in the 49th year on insulin. It's been a trip down memory lane reading these notes! How I remember the glass syringes that had to be boiled to sterilise, the urine tests, the thing that looked like a gun to shoot the syringe into the skin! Stopped using that, as it made me bleed more. They used to take blood from my earlobe to test at the annual check up. I also spent three months in hospital awaiting the birth of my son, and was allowed home at weekends. So glad things are better now. So far, I have no complications at tall so I think I can't be doing too badly. Well done to you all. [/QUOTE]
