[QUOTE="gillkin, post: 2261736, member: 21873"] 52 years since age 4 for me, remember all of those things too Penquin 47210 except needle sharpening, that must have changed to just the disposable 1 inch thick, 2 inches long needles by 1968 when I was diagnosed (felt like ). Been using an insulin pump for the last 8 years and love it, wouldn't want to be without it. Have had just a tiny amount of background retinopathy with no other complications so very lucky compared to some people. My mantra, which I owe to my parents who were brilliant, has always been, I'm in control of this, it's not in control of me, nothing (up to now) will make this go away so get on with it, live the best life you can and don't waste time bemoaning your fate.
