Comment by Chris Miller on May 3, 2012 at 7:51am Wow, that is impressive! I am at 38 years now. I intend on celebrating so much when I reach the 50-year mark that I won't make it to 70 ;)
Comment by Shawnmarie on May 3, 2012 at 8:33am Congratulations! Cannot imagine all the changes you've seen in T1 care in that time. Sounds like you've definitely kept up with all of them!
The more power and the more years to YOU ...thanks for sharing shoshana!
Comment by Chris Miller on May 3, 2012 at 9:23am I only had the ketone testing as a kid, no glucometers. What changes have you seen? Did you reuse your syringes??
