I have memory probs from a diabetic coma when I was 12. Thankfully I have a Twin who helps me remember. BUT I have, to this day, had flashbacks that happen when I hear someone talk of a memory or ask me about something.
I was only out 4 days but it seemed to shut me down enough, I guess.
I know for a fact I was diagnosed in Aug of 1980 because of the surrounding circumstances. Even though it was rare back then I still ended up having a classmate with the same disease: Tony.
Nice! Congratulations!!!
What a good thought, my 1 year anniversary as a Type 1 will be this New Years. It’s definitely a celebration of Life, wow not sure what I’m going to do. Be nice to have a Sugarless Cake and Blow out the Candles…Er…Candle. 
Great Post
Well today I mark my 18th year of being a Diabetic. The funny thing is my doctor is baffle that I underwent a long period without insulin after I was diagnosed with it and underwent insulin treatment for around 6-12 months then was taken off the treatment due to low glucose episodes. Regardless of what my doctor said I still have a page of an entry in my journal dedicated to the time I was diagnosed with diabetes with my 10 years old hand-writing.
Well, I simply celebrated by remembering the diagnostic day, and seeing the changes I've gone through, from diet soda, to blood sugar testing. Remembering how much I've done for my diabetes this last year and just keep doing what I do now for many future years to come hopefully. :)
