[QUOTE="barbarapreston, post: 1476657, member: 60691"] Like you I was diagnosed at 10 3/4 eight months after sweets came off ration for the Queens Coronation!Things were very different in those days,all we had to do was keep our urine results reasonably low and follow a pretty strict diet.I enjoyed myself as a teenager but we didn't drink alcohol as much as young people do now.We saw the diabetic doctor probably every month and he decided any increases in insulin or extra "lines"of food.We had to eat a certain number of black lines (carbohydrates) and red lines (proteins)every day.We had to cope with all the restrictions or face an angry doctor! I have now been a type 1 diabetic for 63 years and still going strong.You have to accept the diabetes and take care during the early years. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
