A Decade with Diabetes!

March 23rd of 2009 marks the tenth year I’ve lived with diabetes. A decade!

Are You Wasting Energy Wishing You Didn't Have Diabetes?

I hate to waste my time and my energy. I resented the complicated math classes I was forced to take in college because I knew there was no point in my life when I would have to find the route of x through y times b-squared divided by 17. I’m sure there a hundred thousand math teachers desperate to argue with me over how important it is that... Read moreChevron

The dudes we can thank for our handy bottles of insulin are Fredrick G. Banting, Charles H. Best, J.J.R. Macleod and James B. Collip. They discovered insulin 1921 by extracting it from the islet cells of animal pancreases!
