Wow cool, I want a replica syringe :D Then I could show a comparison when people say "omg, you have to inject?!".
I'm actually surprised the needle isn't longer.

I think one of the worst aspects in the very early days was the huge amounts of insulin they had to inject - 5cc! 😱
 
would anyone mind if I ate the whole toblerone bar please?????
