[QUOTE="Richard.E.Craig, post: 184528, member: 33123"] I'm not sure about the health implications but I do know that anything tirradiated by an X-Ray retains the gamma radiation that it was exposed to permanently, i.e it never leaves the object, every time you or your insulin gets an X-Ray it gets more radioactive. Twice as many X-Rays means twice as much gamma :mrgreen: radiation. Unfortunately its not only our insulin that becomes radioactive,syringes and hypodermic needles are sterilised by gamma rays !
