Type 1 Diabetics Can Live Long Lives Too
...and Bernard Farrell is a testament to that!

Bernard Farrell, type 1 diabetic for 35 years is an inspiration to those suffering from type 1 diabetes. Yes, you can live a long life too.

Bernard was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on September 10, 1972. Gosh, I wasn't even born then!

Anyway, we can all learn from Bernard's wisdom. In a his recent blog entry, Bernard wrote:

Now it's 35 years later and what's to look forward to? Plenty I think.

Yesterday at my bike ride, I spoke to someone from Dr. Faustman's research lab in Boston. They're continuing to make progress on a possible cure for Type 1 diabetes. Personally (this is just me talking) I'm expecting that I won't be taking insulin by the time my 50th d-anniversary rolls around. Maybe because of Dr. Faustman's work, or because of other research that's happening around the world as I write.

And what happens if I'm wrong? Well that's OK. It won't be the first time.

God has some plan for me. He's a good guy and he's taken great care of me and my family so far. So I'll just continue to place my trust in Him, because I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.
