[QUOTE="barbarapreston, post: 2023287, member: 60691"] Hello everyone.I don't post a lot but I do enjoy reading the forum.I have been diabetic for 65 years and still going strong.Sweets came off ration for the Queens coronation in June 1953.I can remember enjoying Refreshers and Lovehearts but that came to an abrupt halt in February 1954.I was in hospital for six weeks while they tried to stabilise me. Apart from high blood pressure (now under control) I have no other problems .I haven't been in hospital for diabetes since I was 14,when I ate rather a lot of sweets unbeknown to my parents .I have 10 units of Levemir before breakfast and 14 at bedtime,plus between 4 and 6 units of Novorapid before each meal. I have led a full and happy life and found that diabetes was only a hindrance occasionally . [/QUOTE]
