[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 882376, member: 148713"] Philchap, we must have been diagnosed within months of each other (I was five). And I remember those old metal and glass syringes and those terrible, terrible needles. My Dad used to boil my syringe and needles every night in a stainless steel butter dish on the cooker ring to sterilize them. And those needles were tap-tap-tapping on that dish as they boiled. Every time I look at a modern pen needle, it cheers me up now. So tiny, so short, so fine! [/QUOTE]
