I hope it will be an artificial pancreas, which also functions as the pancreas of a healthy person
It will be interesting to see what will be considered "modern" in 2054!
Yes, the Palmer Injector gunCongratulations and hello
Im in my 49th year so recall clinitest tablets and the like.
I was 6 when diagnosed and the needles felt like harpoons!!
Do you remember the injectagun?
It was a weapon of mass destruction !!
I'm working and driving and only add this to give a bit of hope and optimism to newly diagnosed members....
Back in the day the idea of pumps and 4mm needles and indeed free needles along with CGMs would have been a pipe dream....
Live long and prosper
Tony
I reckon that is just around the corner!I hope it will be an artificial pancreas, which also functions as the pancreas of a healthy person
Mine still do even though they appear to be in perfect health. They have always passed the sensitivity test. Bizarre!wow! How cool! How did you do it?
For my 19 years of diabetes, I have only a mild form of polyneuropathy, mainly it is manifested by the fact that my feet can freeze even in the heat

I bet these bring back memories. Keep up the good work!
If I remember correctly they were 37s/6d in the late 60s and early 70s. The advertisements in the British Diabetic Association magazine Balance used to terrify me. I have always been needle phobic, but would sooner inject myself than become a real dart board!I can remember the injectagun my mum and dad bought me one for my 17 th birthday , boy the bruises that used to give me !
Like Tony said to give optimism to newly diagnosed im'e in my 48 th year and not had one complication .
Congratulations!I remember all that lot. Coming up to 60years Type 1.

That's inspiring 60 years with diabetes!I remember all that lot. Coming up to 60years Type 1.
was it really more convenient than a regular injection? For some reason it seems to me that it is easier to make an injection with a regular syringeYes, the Palmer Injector gun

I don't think it was convenience that was in Palmer's mind! These were aimed (was it really more convenient than a regular injection? For some reason it seems to me that it is easier to make an injection with a regular syringe
