In a ceremony on October 15, Joslin Diabetes Center awarded James P. McGough, of Arlington, Massachusetts, a 75-year medal, representing 75 years with type 1 diabetes and without any serious complications.
Mr. McGough is one of 69 people to receive the 75-Year medalist award, which was originated by Elliott P. Joslin in 1948 when Dr. Joslin began awarding people a 25-Year medal. Since then the program has grown to incorporate the 50-Year medal in 1970 and the 75-Year medal in 1996. As the medalist program continues to grow, Joslin celebrates more diabetes milestones with the first 80-Year medal awarded this past May.
