Found it. It is actually 1971 (well nearly 50 years old) It called Living with Diabetes (A guide for new Diabetics) Issued by the Welcome Foundation. Great photos of a woman injecting into her thigh and photos showing all the different types of Insulin Vials we used back then. The standard...

Yep I am definitely looking for it later. I don't think it is the ABC. If I were any good with IT things I would be able to show a picture of it..

Yep.. The boiling up to steralise and the metal needles that resembled javelins that were so solid they could break off once inside your flesh!. And the urine testing with those caustic tablets that could burn through to the Antipodes if you spilt any on the floor! Strangely I actually loved...

If it hurts when you bite on it then it probably has an infection. This has happened to me after having a tooth filled. Three days later when eating some crisps I nearly went through the roof! It had got infected during the treatment. Have to say I wasn't very happy as in the end I had to have...
