Well worth a read.

Bill Pitman was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1938 aged 3.

He recalls how treatment has changed.

It still amazes me how many changes there have been in diabetic care in what is a relatively small amount of time. Thank you Banting and Best for giving us life, even though there may still be trials to face. There are so many people like this man who live with this condition day in, day out and just seem to take it in their stride. As Garr said hope for us all.
