Welcome to the forum @Neil1959

Sounds like you‘ve had an interesting time of things over the years. We have a fair few long-termers on the forum, but glad to have your years of experience to add to the centuries of lived diabetes experience we have here. 🙂

Just a bit. From steel glass syringes and steel needles,that were as thick as a javelin and had to be boiled each day. To the sleek micro fine kit we have today. Early days glucose test was weeing into a small tube, then dropping an acetone tablet into it, to see what colour it went lol
