Beating The Odds: 64 Years Of Diabetes Health
This is the story of my first 64 years with diabetes. Online friends wanted to know what it was like to be a diabetic in the 1940's and beyond. This is explored here and carried to the present day. Many topics are discussed, including causes of Type 1 diabetes, how some Type 1 diabetics have lived so long without complications, the Joslin Medalist Program and my participation in the Joslin Medalist Study. There are many pictures dating as far back as the 1930's. My online blogs of my past have been very popular. Hundreds of replies say I have given inspiration and hope for the future for many of my diabetic readers and their families. My hope is that I can do the same for everyone who reads this book.

Hi Peter, thanks for joining us here.
Terrie, are you in trouble AGAIN??? I will start my prayers immediately! :D
I'm no idol, I am just lucky to have been around so long with my D. Luck does not make an idol.

I just read a book called "Breakthrough" that explained the advent of insulin in the 1920's and a little girl's journey as being one if the first to receive this drug that saved her life where she went on to live into her 70's. It gave me a really appreciation for the drug I now take that allows me to live an active, normal life.
