I didn't have a mobile phone in 1980....I would never have believed my trim phone could do that .
The little pointy bit I’d seen on the house brick phones at the time might have come to mind as a lancet??I wonder what I would have thought if I’d been told in 1980 that I could take my sugar levels with my phone
I didn’t get one till around 1993? About the size of my accuchek mobile.I didn't have a mobile phone in 1980....
1 Cal and TaB both appeared in 1963. Thank God Schweppe's Slimline Tonic appeared in1965. I felt really big, aged seven, drinking tonic water with a slice of lemon in a half-pint glassI remember my mother buying me disposal syringes she asked why not on prescription was told cos they are a “ luxury” also with the old glass and metal syringes the needles in comparison to the 4mm ones we use today were like the Apollo 11 rocket and being told to change them when they were blunt. The only diet soft drinks were 1 cal and Tab cola both were rank. I do wonder how people today would manage they would of course as the alternative isn’t good but I wonder how
Discussing this the other week.I didn5 have a mobile til the mid to late 90s then all it did was text
Tab was to only option I had & it was only sold in a corner shop near my school whilst all the other kids bought coke?1 Cal and TaB both appeared in 1963.

I think most people would inject theselves, even with "road drills" if they had to. But diabetic chocolate, no!

I work for a large group that makes ready meals. Not sure I would trust the carb count on the side of the packaging. They fiddle that much with the sauce to get the right consistency by either adding water if it's too thick or starch if it's too thin.Isn't it great now that every food item you buy has the carb content printed on it .
They were rock hard metallic Tasting "shaped "fruit gums". I think they were called Skels? I had forgotten Orbit!i Remember apart from diabetic sweets which if you ate them you couldnt go further than 10 feet from the toilet ,
My mother use to buy me ” diabetic “ chocolate bless her youre right they we’re just as bad as normal chocolate as a result even now anything labelled as diabetic is something I avoid , and not just foodDid anyone else compare the sugar content of diabetic chocolate bars and some of the non-diabetic, laxative free bars? A lot of those expensive diabetic bars had more carb in them than cheaper non-diabetic options.
I do remember before they brought out U 100 insulin the pork insulin was different strengths which meant when you were drawing it up you had to half it , or I think quarter it on the syringe . Only when the synthetic (or”human” insulin as they sometimes called it) did you draw the unit as per dose. Confused ??? Just a tad
