I keep thinking about the millions of type 1 people who would have perished if Drs. Frederick Banting and Charles Best had not discovered insulin 97 years ago. This is truly a day to be celebrated!!

Another year, another world diabetes day. Who knew? (My son, who sent me a note).

Let’s celebrate!
