[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1959438, member: 488171"] 20 years for me, and I think the same re the torture age. I was put on MDI, given novopens and a medisense meter (possibly with a small cost) - test strips on the NHS, needles weren't for a while. The stab-u-like device wasn't a horror. I was also given a vial of each insulin and a handful of syringes - I still have the syringes :-) They didn't try anything with exchange units or carb counting at all. I remember asking the consultant when diagnosed what to do with different readings (since it was obvious to me that I could use them as a guide to tweak things) and he dismissed me saying I should treat them as random! I worked it out for myself... [/QUOTE]
