[QUOTE="philchap1, post: 882246, member: 92186"] 48 years this Christmas aged 7, remember the stainless steel and glass syringe with a needle as thick as your finger, remember practising injections on an orange while in hospital boiling needles and syringe for 20 minutes, 5 drops of urine to 10 of water drop in the tablet and watch it bubble and change colour, still working as a plasterer which keeps me active played rugby union until I was 40, have had some issues with eyes but all ok at the moment. I think diabetes has made me go through life pushing myself to be as good as a non diabetic x [/QUOTE]
