[QUOTE="gillkin, post: 1736230, member: 21873"] 1968 aged 4, I get my 50 year medal later this year . It hasn’t all been a walk in the park but, believe me, life with diabetes now is so much easier to deal with than it was then when it was pretty much guesswork. We had no equipment other than a metal and glass syringe you had to put in boiling water to sterilise and needles you screwed onto the end that were over an inch long and felt about half an inch thick. Urine testing was the only home check you had, 5 drops of urine, 10 drops of water in a test tube with a tablet dropped in that changed colour, blue was good, green ok and orange bad. It’s not going to go away so, as my beloved Mum who passed away last year said to me one day when I was feeling sorry for myself, “ Don’t waste your life waiting for the storm to pass, just get on with learning how to dance in the rain” her version of a well known saying. And, I have. [/QUOTE]
