I spent my lunch today reorganizing my bookshelves and I dug up a forgotten treasure. This is dated 1968. A friend rescued it from the "pulp" pile at her work. I'm tempted to post highlights in a thread later on if people are interested. #diabetes #diabetic #t1d @diabetes

All right, doing my flip-through of this diabetes advice book from 1968 because it's snowy and I'm bored. Strap yourselves into the time machine.

Tagging @diabetes #diabetes #diabetic here but the rest will be in an unlisted thread to avoid clutter.

The list of treatments for lows includes glucose tablets, juice, soda, and something called Air-Bons that I'd never heard of, but apparently they're still a thing. They're butter mints, from the looks of it. Makes sense.

Lots of talk about calories in the "diet" chapter but very little on specific values (ie. grams of carbs). ...Which, apparently the Nutrition Facts label in the US started in 1994? That's newer than I thought.
