[QUOTE="Briony1968, post: 1042813, member: 207046"] I was diagnosed with Type 1 on Friday 13th March 1981 (a day after my 13th birthday). At the time my elder sister had had Type 1 for the previous 4 years, so we already had the pee testing kit at home. It wasn't sticks in those days, it was a test tube, a dropper and a bottle of tablets. You had to put so many drops of pee and so many drops of water into the test tube and then add a tablet, and if it turned I think it was dark blue, then you had sugar in your wee. I went and told my mam, who took me to the Drs who did exactly the same test, and it came back positive again. I was taken into hospital that afternoon and started insulin treatment. [/QUOTE]
