[QUOTE="kevinfitzgerald, post: 1707559, member: 88583"] 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 insulin syringe was the B.S 1619 (I think that's the year! Ha) I also have a 1957 Household Encyclopedia from 1957 with the list of foods "not allowed" Included are "all starchy foods including bread, potatoes, pasta, rice (see they had low carb already sorted in 57 Ha!) Veg such as peas, carrots, parsnips, broad beans, cabbage, beetroot, all fruit!!! milk, ale, spirits............................ Water and Air.... That was a joke!. Just for info before Diabetes in this book is DERBYSHIRE NECK (or Goitre) which apparently is a swelling of the neck just below the Adams Apple and unbelievably is most common in young females!!!!!!!! It honestly sates that!!!! And after Diabetes in this book is DIANTHUS which is a compact Border Plant.... Well I never!...... [/QUOTE]
