[QUOTE="cassie091, post: 2021926, member: 35025"] 60 years and still going strong with no major complications. Consultants put that down to my being very disciplined about my diet. Far better to forgo biscuits, cakes and chocolate than suffer the results. I don't miss them and much prefer savoury food. Life is easier than when I was diagnosed. In those days you could only test urine at home, not blood and insulins were derived from animals. My maternal grandmother died from diabetes in 1924, the year insulin was first used clinically in the UK. There are times when I cry for her as I know how she must have suffered. I count my blessings and give thanks to Banting and best. [/QUOTE]
