Going on holiday was fun. Suitcase for clothes. And another for all the paraphernalia. I wish I'd kept some of it. I've got a novopen 1ml with some actrapid still in, but that's about as far back as I've retained.

Sorry folks... They're coming thick and fast now. How about the old carb book? I think it was called Balance. There was a news letter/mini news paper by the same name as well. It was a top flipper and colour coded red yellow and green. Needless to say mine was opened on the red section more than any.
Oooh, I remember that!!! (shudders!). Did you see the video of a 70s diabetic kid's camp Bev posted a link to? Interesting viewing, brought a few memories back! I do wish someone had told me what carbs to have per 'x' lengths of the pool etc though! Dafne was the first logical info of that sort I remember getting, and I had been diabetic 23 years by then!
Ah, the old autolet platforms! I do think the device would have been less terrifying if you couldn't see the darn lancet arcing towards your poor digit! 😱
Pre injection swabs were they ready made??? We had to soak cotton wool in surgical spirit!!
Yes it was a terrifying contraption, I nicknamed mine the 'guillotine' and absolutely hated the damn thing, it does make you thankful that the modern pen devices are now relatively pain-free. Toby.
