I've been T1 for 34 years last month. I am only 37, so really my whole life.

40 years. I'm 41 now, so my whole lige. Long enough to remember glass tubes and clinitest tablets to measure urine glucose, glass syringes with Huge needles (I have lumpy arms and legs to prove it : ), and a big glass of OJ with 2 tablespoons of sugar to treat a low at school. God, no wonder I have complications, my BG must have shot up to 500+ after "treatments" like that, yikes!

That is the way I remember with treating the Lows, but in my case it was milk with a teaspoon of sugar, and if no milk was abailable then it was with water.

I've been type one for 32 years, since the age of 11. My son is also Type 1 for 4 years. I wish I had today's technology back then.
