[QUOTE="jopar, post: 328626, member: 11712"] over 24 years on I can still remember my diagnoses as though it was yesterday... The phone call, arriving at the hospital not knowing whether I was staying over night or what! Turned out I was there for 3 weeks.. Diabetes was pretty unusual back then, I knew nothing about it really was aware injection were involved... Information was about diabetes was sparse indeed, I did buy the then British Diabetic Association (now DUK) book 'The Complete Guide To Diabetes' which made a Stephen King Novel look like a nursery rhyme! As it described people who hadn't looked after themselves knocking their foot, then ending up having there leg amputated :shock: even after 24 years I still haven't found the courage to read through one of the chapters of the book! 24 years on after eating Starchy Carbs, I still have excellent control still have my legs, my kidneys are doing what they should at the level they should, and I have 20/20 vision without glasses! Apart from an average of 20 units of insulin a day, I take no other medication So I must be doing something Right! [/QUOTE]
