How neat! I found it pretty emotional when I got all my records not too long ago. Did this drum up anything unexpected in you?

Between you and Kelly, I am getting curious. I have my Pediatrician’s paperwork but I believe there may be a local hospital (labs) record and the Boston Joslin record somewhere, has to be.
Weird to think back, recall what it was like, how far we have come.
Glad you got all this paperwork though. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool. As cool as seeing the diabetes stuff can be, of course.

G is lucky that his childhood/diagnosing endo is still a good friend of his parents (and was before he was diagnosed with T1), so if he wanted his records, it would probably be rather easy.

I can’t get my records because I was at a military hospital that has long since closed. I think I will follow your lead and contact the camp I went to 8 months after I was diagnosed and see if they still have records. It is so hard for me to believe that soon I also will be at the 25 year mark and I am still here! I remember the old accuchecks, that was my first glucometer, LOL! I was told to test 2x a day max since the Army paid for my strips. Wow, the old days were something else!

Very cool…and for a mom like me…very scary to think you only needed to test 2x a week. :O I often think testing as often as I do, I have too much information and a cgm would just make my brain explode. But as my son J starts Jr. High I see a CGM someday in his future…to give his mom some peace of mind, and if nothing else to give him freedom without me breathing down his back all the time.

This stuff is very cool. I’m going back to KC where I was diagnosed next weekend. I think I’ll get copies of my records then, and put them on file.

Wow! How very nice you were able to find your records. They’re really interesting to read. Must’ve brought back so many memories.
