[QUOTE="BADEST WOLF, post: 358630, member: 53801"] Can I also point out how things have changed in the time I have been diabetic I started with metal & glass syringes. With solid steel needles , to sterilise them my mum had to boil them The needles had to be used several times and the needle was like the inside of a bic biro. They hurt ! I also still have my gun.( it was a frame like a colt 45 automatic gun). You clicked the loaded syringe onto it and fired the spring loaded lot into your leg then pushed down the plunger and when all in pull it out I recently attended a DAFNE course and when I showed them the attending diabetic nurse bought in one of the syringes and a few old needles to show the group One of the girls was nearly sick and they all stated. 'Barbaric ' Anyways my main point it's apt easier and better these days than when I stated back in the early 70s [/QUOTE]
