Type 1's from 70-79
OK I kinda had this one playing in my mind for awhile but Jay's commit got me to do it. How about a small group who took Type 1 in the dark ages (70's) making our own little group here? Not to ignore the others just want to see how many of us are her

Was diagnosed in '79. I was 7 years old. Reading some of the posts here has brought back some memories! Pork insulin! Peeing in the cup to test urine ...ugh!

Hey Guys,


Here's my blog I guess................. I'm still trying to figure out this computer so PLEASE be pacient with me.


I am a Type 1 diabteic and have had it for 34 years now. I took it way back in the dark ages in 1973. I Particapated in almost every trial that they have come up with. About 15 years ago I did the pancres transplant when it was trial and no insurance would cover it. Fund rasing was a pain but I got through it and raised enough to get it and for the meds th

Hello
I apologize for not replying earlier, I didn’t realize you had left a comment as I haven’t been able to check into the specified email for so long.
Thank you for writing to me and hopefully we can chat soon about type 1 or anything you like.

Hi Doris! If you think it took you a while to figure all this out,well I joined in August. (I am embarrassed to say that is when you left me a comment) and I am only getting to all this now. I have badly sprained my ankle and have been house bound for 3 days. Alas, finally time for the computer. I finally got approval for the CGMS and now am getting through the learning curve. It works really well when I have it in, but I still struggle with the insertion.

Hi Doris
I hadn't realised that it had been so long since I've been on this site!
Hope things are well with you? I'm ok..seem to be permanently exhausted these days. I've now been diagnosed with Diabetic Lipodystrophy and the clinic is hoping to be able to pinpoint the mutant gene which causes the Lipodystrophy (and Dunnigans). I have started on another new drug called Byetta which I am delighted to be tolerating quite well, I started on the half dose and am now on the full dose on top of my insulin, metformin and all of the other drugs that I take daily.
I have started a new eating plan designed by Dr Gillian McKeith which is a semi vegan diet with occasional fish but no dairy or wheat which has had remarkable results in as far as my blood glucose and insulin requirements. I've not eaten dairy and meat for a long time anyway so it's not a big issue for me. I literally started it last week and have halved my insulin irequirements. My blood sugars are fabulous, I am thrilled to bits. I'm seeing my GP on Monday and can't wait to tell her of my results.
I do hope all is well with you.
All the best
Catherine
