[QUOTE="colin boothroyd, post: 101949, member: 22712"] Sorry about this, but I fear I (or to be more exact, my father) may have to knock some people off this highly prestigious pedestal. My father, Alec Boothroyd, was diagnosed with Type one diabetes when he was 8 years old, in 1932. He is now 85 years old - a total of 77 years of insulin dependency. He continues to conduct a very normal, though slightly doddery life. His blood sugar levels are getting very difficult to control but he remains very alert to circumstances and with the help of his forever vigilant wife, Felix, continues to enjoy a very full life.
