[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1771440, member: 374531"] Jeesh, you guys are all sounding so down about things. So, just to step it up a bit, here's a quote from a book by Elliot P Joslin in 1935 (google him - he played a big part in encouraging T1s to take control and self-treat - giving control decisions also means taking responsibility): "I must say that I do admire the backbone and the brains of the average diabetic and I truly believe on the whole they are superior to the common run of people and therefore their good qualities merit cultivation. Second, I think they are less apt to drink, far less likely to have syphilis or gonorrhea, and distinctly less likely to have, what is anathema to me, 'nervous prostration and nerves.'" So, there you go, people, EPJ said that in 1935, and it's still true today! [/QUOTE]
