[QUOTE="Julie1471, post: 533356, member: 42976"] I was diagnosed just before my 10th birthday, my mum took me to see my GP who stated I was perfectly fit and healthy for a 7yr old Lol. They told my mum she was over concerned, they did a water test and told my mum I was fine for school. How wrong they were. My mum hated injections and still does and she nearly passed out after being taught to inject. But I remember the testing kits and the first blood glucose strips made by Bohringer Manhiem(BM's, for short) and the first finger pricker and the first testing machine apply blood at 1min wipe blood of, then wait another min then insert the strip. And so many carbs for breakfast,snack,lunch afternoon snack, tea and bedtime snack. I think I'm glad I was diagnosed back then only 2 jabs a day, then and an exploding orange, that went every where, when it got knocked of the side, the ward floor was covered :-) opps. I don't think I could handle being diagnosed now, so much more to take in and deal with. [/QUOTE]
