[QUOTE="Juli, post: 152973, member: 29108"] Ditto about boiling the blunt needles and glass syringes to keep them sterilised. This was back in the 1960s. My Father had a special saucepan he used for the boiling. Once sterilised they were put in a small glass jar with meths. The insulin was porcine in those days. My diabetic specialist was a chain smoker. His office was full of cigarette smoke. Unbelievable isn't it? Clinitest was used for urine testing. The H1AC1 results involved a day off school. I would go to the hospital and have blood taken at 9am, 12pm and 3pm then we would drive home on a narrow windy road which took about two hours. The doctors were quite strict and unforgiving. General ethos I should do better. It's fantastic what we have nowadays, the technological advances and better training of health care professionals. [/QUOTE]
