Hello - I'm new to the message boards, but was diagnosed Type 1 in July 1986 at age 33 - so Diabetes has been around for 25 years - just came out of the blue and no family history of it on either side. I was on humulin isophane until just over two years ago, when following an emergency admission to the local hospital after being found on the floor during the night. I was in a coma for 5-6 weeks, and the hospital changed my regime to Humalog at mealtimes and Lantos at bed-time. I retired from work a year ago, and now spend my time doing the domestic jobs and the school run for our two grandchildren (nearly 5 and 6 1/2) who live with us full time. I live just outside Stockport, but haven't been involved with any local support groups. I made my first post yesterday, and I'm really impressed with rthe replies, biut don't know why I'm shown as a Junior Member!!.
