Alice and Andy, I'll see you at my birthday party with your pumps! LOL!

"Shifty", 1/3 bionic , eh? Hey, I might live until that birthday bash and still be walking around. thanks for the idea! LOL!

Cin, you'll host the party? I have a son in Morrisville, NC, near Raleigh. Are you close by?

Jules, it sounds like you enjoy life despite your handicaps. That's great! I hope you get to travel some and at least see things in Texas.

Thank all of you for your comments!!

I heard recently that if you contact the Joslin clinic they are very keen to learn about anyone who has been on insulin for many years... I understand that they award a medal for 50 years, so I'd say you had earned that and then some I also hear that the Banting Institute sends out a framed photo of the Institute for 50 years.

Best Wishes and many more years

Thank you Richard for that wonderful autobiography. That story has to inspire just about everyone. I just couldn't stop reading it. I wish you a long and happy retirement and many more years being inspirational.

with your background in mathematics why don't you get together with a software person and come up with a program which when you put a couple of weeks readings, carbs and insulin data in calculates basal rates, carb ratios and sensitivities in. It would make life so much easier. Or do you think it would be just too hard.

Thanks for your story and inspiration.
