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 cleaning mine. Boiling it and taking it apart as though it was a riffle (though I've never taken apart a riffle, but I've seen it on TV!) I was diagnosed in 1981.. I've actually an old book (must be nearly 50 years old which was given to my father when he got diagnosed probably  from the 1950's or 60's with pictures) A really interesting, fun read when you take into account what it is like now!Hypo's were called Insulin Reactions and there was a list of foods we were not supposed to eat.. Virtually nothing was safe.. I must try to find it...</blockquote>
