Happy 88th birthday, Insulin!

[Northerner]

First use of insulin in treatment was on this day, January 11th 1922

Thanks goodness they found you under that gooseberry bush!

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayk, lets throw it a party

seriously, i wish i could go back in time and meet these dudes. I would totally high five them. And be all like 'dude, dude...look at THIS!' and show them an insulin pump and insulin pen and then probably ruin everything for every diabetic in the future 😱 stupid laws of time travel

Three cheers for insulin and those clever people who kept on trying until they got it right.

In 2014 it will be 92 and I will have been on it for 46 years, i.e. half its lifetime! I am not optimistic about a cure being found by then!
