[QUOTE="rochari, post: 1676129, member: 68255"] LOL Scott, I was along the M8 only yesterday. I mentioned the Palmer Injector Gun earlier which was a scary piece of equipment. Did you know it was made in Glasgow? I once had a great GP whose grandfather was one of the first to be treated by Banting & Best. He was taken down to them in London from Glasgow a very sick little boy, given this new drug and lived a long life. As I mentioned, both my mother and grandmother were type1's as was my great-grandmother. Sadly, she died as there was no treatment available in those days. My gran told me her mother lived on a kind of cabbage diet for about a year before she passed away. My gran never used Clinitest tablets, only Benedict's solution. I still smile as I remember her heating the tube over the gas ring. Bill [/QUOTE]
