[QUOTE="Carroll Trevor, post: 339513, member: 50077"] I was diagnosed Type 1 on my mother's birthday on 30th September 1951. I was just 5 years old. One had glass syringes that had to be boiled to sterilise them, could not eat grapes or bananas, had test tubes about a foot long with various chemicals in them, etc. Not too many problems, led a very normal teenage life, busy active, working for the army and driving as soon as able to at 21. I have a wonderful 36 year old son (not diabetic) who gets married this year (at last!!) a supportive husband and friends. I inject 4 times a day with neutral bovine insulin and twice a day with bovine isophane insulin. All was fine until I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease just over 18 months ago and then, ye gods have things gone wrong with balance and regulation. Will have to go and see my diabetic nurse again very soon as we both had norovirus over the Christmas period and that does nothing for balance and control!! Happy New Year to all, keep stable and keep on doing blood tests [/QUOTE]
