I'm new to the forum, after having started with this app about a month ago. I have had T1 and have been insulin-dependent since the age of four, 48 years ago. Hard to believe. I consider myself very fortunate or just the recipient of very good genes!
Back when I was first diagnosed, syringes were glass, the needles were much longer, and BG testing was done via urine dip strips. I'd get my BG done at the doc's office, but the results were not immediate even then. I've saved some of my old equipment just for fun.
