[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 875093, member: 148713"] Hahaha! There was no such thing as the HbA1c. There were no blood tests. We had to do urine tests twice a day. And of course most people hated them, couldn't see the point of them and faked their records. I can remember as a teenager sitting in the waiting room ( we also waited for hours and hours and hours back then) filling out my "results" and some little old lady telling me how to fake them better and how she did it! I was a bit startled. I still thought adults didn't tell lies, and also I had no idea what she was doing at the children's clinic. So, in short, we didn't know what our Hb was. Our treatment was hopeless. Our prospects were hopeless. I don't really understand why any poor doctor chose to specialize in diabetes. The last ten years has been a complete revolution in diabetes treatments. [/QUOTE]
