happy new life ... thank you science (23 January 2016)


The first insulin injection was administered in Toronto in 1922.  It has saved thousands of lives including mine.*





Insulin has given me a second chance, and should be celebrated.

Life always offers you a second chance; it's called tomorrow.

Thank you science.

Charles Best and Frederick Banting (plus dog) received the Nobel Prize for their discovery of insulin.
 



*Although I suspect modern life / modern medicine "gave" me diabetes (excessive antibiotics as a child provoking a genetic predilection), I don't know this.  Perhaps it would have manifested anyway.
